Maybe you could start with an anti-depressant, if you're not already on one, to make you see there's a better side to living, and counselling with someone you trust, or therapy, to get a better view on things. It doesn't sound like any of your feelings of shame are based on anything outside of yourself. People snicker and are rude all the time, you can't take it personally, it's anathema to your soul. Don't let your soul be destroyed by the thoughtlessness of others. Young people and very old people can be especially immature. Don't take it to heart. You're much better than they know.
