ATTN all those self-identifying as misfits at early stages of their career:

The reason you are not fitting properly may just be because you are being an asshole. Please be constantly aware of this fact as you go around imposing your special snowflakeness on everyone else.



For some of us 'not fitting properly' is an internal struggal and has nothing to do with our interactions with others. You can be a misfit and be well liked by your peers. I suggest you take your own advice.


All I asked was awareness :) They key word in that sentence was "may."

Although for those of us struggling internally in social situations, more self-doubt is probably not what is needed.
