you are looked down on for it and marginalized

You just said and exact quote

you owe it to yourself to either tell them to get fucked or find a way to get them out of your life.

When that list includes your own mother, father, siblings, supervisor at work, and SO, I think your advice is tantamount to amputating a limb because of the discomfort it experiences in life, as opposed to recognizing the issue. I'm taking what you're saying as aloof to the very subject matter here, and hence the subject we're discussing here in the first place. The idea of telling your loved ones to get fucked and get them out of your life is in line with the issue of suicide, depression, and anxiety.

The depression from where you just became lonelier, and the suicide as many people see it as an "out". You may as well just say, go kill yourself if you don't like this world......and then we're back to square one again.

Either way, have a nice downvote for your terrible attitude. I hope you have something better to say than the old "toughen up" advice that constitutes what makes this fucked.

If I sound aloof then I am sorry. But I have had to make similar choices. Saying goodbye to shit people can be truly difficult, but it's either that or endure their shit if they won't listen to you.

I am not saying to wallow in loneliness. You will need to find non-shit people to make a friend network, even just a small one.

It is a lot of effort and even the prospect is scary as fuck...but living a life enduring an untenable burden will never be better.

Sometimes life gives us impossible choices. Like upend everything or live in misery.
