    I will do it =) This speech is what i needed to hear today, because I was scare about my new classmates, because they aren't like me. But now I know that I have to know new worlds, to feel happy about it.

    Thanks for the advice! Just see one of the differences between un' and succesful companies. Unsuccesful companies hire people who think like the hiring manager (went the same school, play the same sports, go to the same places on holidays) than the people who work better.

    You might have ADD if you have a hard time not thinking about these things. Focus on your work and not others.

    You need to let go of guilt, of always being prepared to defend (justify) yourself. Maybe then it won't bother you as much if others aren't aligned with you. Consider self-confidence as the sense of your fundamental _right to existence_.

    I know how you feel. Even peoplt younger than me even kids intimidate me in a ambitious aspect I can't fully express. For the most part in the socializing,bonding and coexisting spectrum. I'm just socially, yet people have this extraverted impression of me when they meet me, but yet come to realize I'm a kinda awkward and immesly reclusive and withdrawn. I've been subjected to prolonged abuse, and a hostile and unpredictable living environment, since my birth. I suppose I was the most susceptive that of my siblings in way. To top it off my "aspergers"was also a major contributing factor, and didn't help that my father was practically a sociopath, and alcoholic. ..guy is a reckless maniac. Guess I just needed to vent..

    TaylorJ ...The best thing you can do is understand that failures are stepping stones to success. There are three immediate things that happen when a failure occurs: 1. Knowledge increases: you learn and gain an immense amount of information. 2. Skill Enhancement: one or more essential skills will be revealed that either need further development or must be utilized more effectively and 3. Response Management: failure helps to increase patience, humility and gratitude; attributes essential to personal development and relationships
