As an awkward and totally embarRassing piece of trash not many want to socialize with at work, will I ever get far in life?

You may have autistic traits, and you may be socially anxious and awkward and some people may not understand well enough to behave gracefully.

But you are not trash.

Different is not deficient. We all feel alienated and alone in this world. It's the myth of fingerprints - this deluded belief that somehow we're not all in this together and we're all unique. You have traits others admire; I'm willing to bet you have traits even you admire. Focus on those.

The trick isn't always in ridding yourself of fear and doubt - sometimes it's the ability to move forward in the direct face of your fear that creates a hero. You are enough. You are a child of the universe and you're perfect according to its blueprint. Find trust in that. And when the outsiders get you down...f*** 'em. That's [i]their [/i]deficiency, not yours.
