I dunno if just having fun is a good enough goal for you, but I think that liking what you're doing is a more affirming one than being liked. Not that I know precisely how to go about doing that.

Anyway, I like you.

hmm, this is interesting.
i think one thing is due to social media and some other factors i am faced with the rejection all the time. like every day.

not being liked but liking what i'm doing might be fulfilling enough, maybe, but not enough if instead of just abstractly not being liked i am actually feeling rejection from those i love all the time.
but it is still worth thinking about what you said to remind myself there are other ways to be happy than people loving me.

one thing is that every day this week i am teaching a class and it is pretty much my favourite thing. but then in between the times i'm at class i get really sad again and cryyyyyy

also i llike you too

maybe you're not sad you're just bored?

(This is maybe trite, but a lot of free time can be soul-destroying.)

I am sorry to hear you are feeling down. :(
It is tough being strong when you feel people aren't in your corner and giving you validation, I think that's pretty normal, for what it is worth. I think social media definitely exacerbates that.

I think you are so, so right about that.
I'm over on tumblr writing about not being sure if tumblr makes me feel better or worse.
