Over the years I've learned to be self-aware enough to know I do not always fit in. It use to bother me a lot more. Know your strenghts and be proud of them. If socializing is not your thing...does not matter. You will connect with people who share your values and identify with "who you are" and will like you for "who you are". The rest does not really matter...it's your life. Now, obvioulsy, in a work situation you are expected to work with others. Notice abilities in others that you like or admire and point that out to them when you feel compfortable...you might find that you can bond over things that interest both of you. Take care and reflect on the good things about you!
