I was socially rejected in elementary and junior high, but that is because I
hadn't learned the social protocols of the time among that age group. I
blame that partially on my dysfunctional parents for which my mom is very
retarded.
Midway through high school I learned via observation how to handle different
situations and now I have no problem making friends. In fact I'm now
becoming the popular one. A combination of self satire and impressive
knowledge helps.
