I think it's all about being accepted by other people.

You know when I apply for a job there is usually something in the advertisement that emphasises a need for excellent communication skills. I am very shy so whenever I see this, I move on to the next ad.

I feel like it is the same with society. I cannot make friends because people require me to be socially adept and interesting and comfortable with certain social settings.

Which I am not.

This is why I think I fail.
