Treat yourself with pride and respect, and deal with this with as much dignity as you can muster, no matter how sad and lonely you feel right now. You will be glad you did in the months and years to come, instead of cringing with embarrassment at the memory of your own pathetic behavior (Lord, don't I know it).
