I think you're right. Regarding my view on US vs. Eastern Europe, I think you're also right and your words changed my perspective. I think I was being inconsiderate in my assessment in that just because cultures are different, doesn't mean this person in that given country will actually help you more than that other person.

As you said, I'm literally experiencing "nice" people that are talking behind my back right now, so yeah, that definitely says something, as well.

Thank you for your thoughtful and edifying perspective. I really appreciate your words man. Feeling a lot better today, but still going through a lot of other things; it's a lonely road, but this is life. Other people are going through worse things. People like you and others in this comments section are a breath of fresh air to me, in my real, non-digital life.
