As some with Aspergers, much of the middle part is true for me. I feel extreme discomfort in highly social situations. It's tough because being social doesn't come naturally ever, but it's more of constantly pushing myself to go out and then becoming exhausted easily from it.
I'm acutely aware of it, every single day.

Depression results in turn as you realize that you are not normal..that other highly intelligent and 'normal' people have a better angle on the future and that your peculiar perceptions are not something you can leverage. Then alcohol to forget..and competition with others who recognize your illness and take pity on you. Cyclical and ugly.
