I can do many things (I believe 😅), but one fundamental flaw.
I can't sell myself. Which is deeply frustrating.

This is true. And while I people very well in specific domains where there is a set structure (which may actually make me a good manager in certain contexts), I definitely don't know how to people well in general.

For one thing, it kinda sucks when my brain:

1. Likes to forget that people exist (#ADHD object impermanence)
2. Always assumes that people are angry/disappointed at me (#RSD / #RejectionSensitivityDysphoria)
3. Does a poor job of picking up on social cues (#SocialBlindness)

Fortunately, I don't have a severe case of most of these, except for the second one, which is pretty awful.

Also, while I don't like harping on "my story" (because so many have gone through so much worse), I did go through a very "Twilight Zone"-esque experience where I found all of my friends to be, well... nazis or political zombies, depending on how you want to look at it. Of course, that was preceded by about half a decade by an experience of abuse and rejection in my personal life which was pretty terrible, so I'm generally a bit f'd-up in the head when it comes to "peopling."

But I'd still like to improve. I don't live in my past. It's not a happy place, and past me isn't someone I have any allegiance to, in terms of spending emotional energy re-living.

I think there's a lot of freedom in that mindset, honestly. I sure as heck spent enough years chained to the hurts of the past. That's no freaking way to live.

I'd think so to, as #SocialAnxiety and #RSD (#RejectionSensitivityDysphoria, an #ADHD-adjacent thing) can make an ambivert feel like an introvert.

I enjoy meeting new people, but I just hope that they are amenable tae being just acquaintances. More than that puts meh at the edge of what I can cope wi. #RejectionSensitivityDysphoria #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Dysthemia.
