It can feel incredibly lonely when it seems like everyone around you is comfortable with things you find fundamentally unacceptable. Please know that you do not need to tone down your empathy or your values just to fit in. Suppressing who you are usually leads to superficial connections rather than the deep, genuine friendships you deserve.
Sometimes, the issue isn't who you are, but where you are looking.
