The important thing is to keep moving forward one step at a time, one breath at a time. Don't let other people give you crap and don't bother viewing your life in comparison to anybody else's. You need to live YOUR life, not someone else's. As someone who is really horribly afraid of social situations, forcing myself to get a job where I had to deal with people is one of the best things I ever did. I found out that I could do the job well; apparently being scared of people makes me more sensitive to their needs and feelings.
