For anyone who's given their all to help others in need, only to feel used or to have their efforts fail repeatedly; for anyone who's been hurt, insulted, or rejected by the meanness of others or disappointed when they often don't meet expectations; and for anyone who's suffered loss or trauma but struggled to move on and find real happiness again: The Social Black Belt.
