How is one supposed to allow themselves to be.

I expected too much from me, both in looks, in personality, and in achievement.

And after a decade of not meeting my own expectation, I've withdrawn from society completely.

I want to socialize, but I can't, because I'm me, and I'm not even good enough for myself.

What are your standards for a friend?

you just do - there comes a point where you realize nothing matters anymore, where you keep on walking regardless
>I expected too much from me, both in looks, in personality, and in achievement.
looks fade, personality, well, you can't please everyone, and achievements mean nothing in the cosmic sense - they might mean something to you, and if you have them you *should* be proud, but if you don't have them then it's okay too
>And after a decade of not meeting my own expectation, I've withdrawn from society completely.
who put those expectations on you, anon? was it your parents? your friends? yourself?
>I want to socialize, but I can't, because I'm me, and I'm not even good enough for myself.
like i mentioned before, you keep on walking regardless - you say you can't socialize, who's stopping you? if you say your mind, then let your body act - stop thinking about it and just go out and do it

all will be well, anon
you've won a few battles before, and you sure as hell will win a few more
