Forgive. Forgive others for not being perfect. Forgive others for not meeting your needs when you needed it. Forgive others for cold shoulders, harsh words, embarrassing you, making you feel less, etc. Forgive.
It is so easy to focus on negatives. It's easy to allow your thoughts to interfere with truth--meaning, you may think someone gave you the cold shoulder when in reality they were focused so much on their life and truly didn't see you.
Begin again. Go to church and kill people with kindness. Be faithful in your callings (including VT/HT), volunteer cheerfully to help others.
Why do you think you were such an important part of your old ward? Because you had friends and served. Make friends--invite people to your home for dinner/games. I can guarantee that SOMEONE in your new ward feels very alone and friendless. Be that friend. Become an important part of this ward through service.
