Getting married helped a lot. Having children was the final nail in the coffin. I'm me and I'm complete (from my own perspective of what it means to me complete) and I can go into any social interaction now with the belief that anyone who doesn't like me is there problem. If I have difficulty conversing with someone, I can always just walk away and play with my kids, kiss my wife, and declare a win. That's what it feels like, at least. And that's good enough.
