I do have a degree but that actually makes me feel worse because I think that if I'm capable enough to get a degree what exuse have I for the above list of things?
Yes, I can definitely relate to both of those. I wondered for years how I can be so smart and so inept at the same time, but that's the paradox of HFA for a lot of people.
I am/was not good enough for:
1) A band I was in when I was younger, they unequivocally dumped me as their lead singer, even though they said my voice and talent was definitely not the issue, they wouldn't tell me what
was the issue.
2) Being a spa receptionist, a waitress, a bartender, industrial painter ... I've been fired from
all of those jobs. They often also refused to give me a definitive reason for my dismissal, which to me, means that it was a social issue, not a task-performance issue.
3) Several men I've dated who just never called me back. Oh well. *shrug*
