Am I stupid? I must be!

That is what I suggest. I can assure you a whole lot of people won't give two shits that you're weird. The ones that do that's their problem.

No cookie cutter advice here. Yeah its a real PITA having to wake up each day knowing you've got get through another day - SSDD. That's what you gotta do, though!

There's no magic solution. You will have get up and get out and do more than you think you can't.

Oh, it doesn't.

But what's the alternative? Talking to more people, trying to branch out, etc. I know that much myself. But I also know that I don't have the wit/skill to properly converse, and so it's a foregone conclusion that I will not connect to people or otherwise be thought of as "weird." Is that what you suggest...? This is just a genetically determined thing, if the OP has what I have.. they need to accept it.
