How do I get better?

Between mid last year and start of this year, I wasn't doing too good mentally. I had gone through a break up and I never got closure, so this brought my struggle with self worth to the surface. I feel like this is going to sound dumb, but I love cars, they make me super happy. I have my own, and it's definitely not the best, but I've always wanted to have a loud and low car with a spoiler, just like I see a lot of car people with. I want to do that with my car, and I know it's not the greatest, it's just a 2001 Lancer. I've copped a lot of hate for my car from friends, and I've even been told to just leave it, keep it quiet essentially because nothing I do will make it a good car. Seeing other people with good cars getting so much love sucks because I feel like that'll never happen to me. People even tell me that they don't care about me liking cars when I mention something car related, or they just disregard whatever I say.

Hearing this stuff just makes me feel worse. Not just about my car, but about myself as well. I want to do something which makes ME happy, but with others pushing me down, I don't know how to. I've always put up with things that I don't deserve, and I thought I was getting better, but I've started going downhill again. I feel worthless, hopeless, like I'll never be loved/appreciated and I don't deserve happiness. I want to get help, but I hate talking about my feelings so much. I just don't know what to do.
Look up, and use, Noah Elkrief YouTube video on depression etc...world renown. He has other videos as well. You'll get well.

Well.... They are not friends.
That is not what a friend does.
A friend would help you get what you want.
A friend would see your passion and encourage it
rather than put you down.
stop hanging around them and wait for a real friend
to come along.
I have a family like your friends and it can be so
ruff. Never any support just ridicule.
But the one friend I have is more like a family should be than
my own blood.
You can find one and they will find you.
Just distance yourself from negativity. It will just blacken your soul.

Opening up is never easy, and you never know how people are going to react. Your friends should not give you shit over your car. I catch shit for my lack of a car and my inability to drive due to dyspraxia. I think it is important to tell your friends how feel about their mockery.
Just read a nice book.. To hell with others .. Dont worry about what they think .. People are dumb
