It took me 6 months of aimlessness and boring soloplay before I got myself into a nice little highsec corp, and from there I was only going up.
The problem with Eve is that in pretty much everything you need to do, you need to have your character skills up to the par. The early career in Eve is going to be terribly hampered by not having learned the skills to fly ships and skills for doing this and that. At least month will go by before you can do ONE thing well. Even when you get to fly something like a frigate well, the long-time pvpers will still be much better than you characterwise, and Eve is old enough game in that there are a lot of old-timers. Its one weakness with the Eve's skill learning system, the fact that you cant accelerate improving your character by hard work. Even though learning skills on beginning characters is much faster now than it used to be in the past, its still very hard for a beginner.
PvP is mainly about fleets nowadays, so getting into a good corp/alliance is imperative. Judging from your experiences Id say that you didnt find a good corp yet. I can guarantee that not all eve players are twits. I agree that eve has a lot of barriers for a new player to overcome, the important thing is that you shouldnt overcome them alone. Finding a good corp is however difficult. I wish I had some good advice on this aspect but I dont have any. Its pretty much trial and error, but keep in mind that you dont ever commit 100% your eve resources and wallet to what youre doing, keep something in reserve you can come back or if youre being swindled.
Btw about noobhelp channel, the problem is that you cant be there unless youre a young character. Try asking questions on the regular help channel too. The regular one has people playing oldtimer characters. I second others in that joining eve university while continually learning more skills on your character might be a good idea.
edit: It appears that a fair bit of my post got deleted by posting accident. Oh well.
