Re: feeling down...but dont want to be out.
NL 0.1/0.2 is as pointless as all the other low stakes games. Because it doesn't hurt to limp in, you will usually be up against a hidden set, hidden two pair and a couple of straight draws.
If you raise pre-flop with Q-Q you may pick up 5 cent, but if they call, you may lose your entire stack. It's a cat and mouse game of who traps whom and you only get action if you are beat or they have a monster draw against you.
Actually people are right to play like that, because if the ante is small in comparison to what you can win, you should always go for it. As soon as everyone plays every hand, all your poker "skills" are essentially useless and you need to show down the best hand.
