Everyone remembers having to do group assignments in class, right? When the teacher would announce that she'd like for everyone to "find a buddy" to pair up with on the worksheet that was being handed out. All the other kids in the classroom would get up to chatter and instantly find someone to work with, but not once during the 12 years I was in the public education system, did anyone ever come over to me to work with. There were a few times I was literally the ONLY person in class who did not have anyone to work with, and was forced to put in double the effort, with maybe some help from the teacher. Damn, that shit sucked. It was practically a humiliation ritual for loser kids with poor social skills. I know it seems stupid to care about something like that now as an adult but in retrospect, it only served as a reminder to my kid self that there was just something about me that was fundamentally at odds with normal people.
