I think most of us struggle with this at some time or other then other times we accept ourselves as we are, quirks and all. A couple of weeks ago I was contemplating this, looking at my difficulties in functioning in the 'real' world and why that is. I'm forgetful, always have been. I'm flighty, always have been. I can be silly, quiet, broody, lazy and sometimes I get stuff done. That's how I've always been. I asked my mom why she never noticed me as being different, she said she just thought that was 'me'.
