Interesting. It took me until well into my twenties to realize and then come to terms with the fact that maybe I was having trouble being as social as my peers because I just didn't enjoy it as much. Once that happened, I solved most my issues with 'socially capability' by seeking out specific kinds of socializing that I did like. Turns out there are plenty of people just like me, but they either never bothered to enter the 'normal' social circles I desperately tried to enjoy being part of, or they came to know themselves quicker.
