I think it's a combo of:

matter what and it's demotivating.
And I don't think there is so much we can do about the first and last.
Sorry to pull this out of context, but I wanted to wax philosophical
for a moment. (I pontificate. It's what I do.)
Here's what I tell myself from time to time: "I try my best to excel
at what I'm doing. I have no power over other people's happiness. I
can only control my own, and that only somewhat."
A little hippy-dippy I guess, but it's important to tell myself that
once in a while when I encounter a bunch of negativity that brings me
down.
