I mean, what other magical field allows otherwise difficult to get along with individuals to have a full time job? There’s tons of leeway for weird socialization in tech. While the soft skill requirement goes up year over year, it’s still not the same as many other fields. I guess night time clerk at a gas station...?

anyways all these social skills are learnable. But only if you think they are, truly believe it, and only if you try. It might be hard. But hey.

Also consider therapy. Consider it a way of learning how to operate your mind.
