How fucked up is my shit? I am quite bitter when I know that there are many people who are not as smart as me but doing successfully.
It's like jumping through all of society's hoops and then at the last second social skills and looks matter more than anything else.

This happened to me too (except the smarts part). I'm also ugly.
>tfw the interviewer lady walked in and immediately had a disgusted look on her face when she saw me
>>1005705
yesss good goyim xD
>tfw employer assigns you into an inferior role and offers you less pay saying you're not good at 'team work' even tho you're as skilled as everybody else, even somewhat more so. and that's why end up shunning some of their opinions

a good part of "being smart" is knowing what people expect from you and how you can reach their expectations
if you can't do that, you're either very skilled but autistic, or just incredibly retarded and not smart
it's almost 2016, there is no excuse (besides autism) for being a retard who can't manage to hold a simple conversation even if you're not the outgoing great communicating type

in all seriousness, don't go to /r9k/ if you want to learn how to improve your social skills, become a massive "normy" and go to reddit
>>1005702
or better still find something to do that isn't on the internet

Unless you're actually disfigured, its more likely that you were lacking in hygiene/appearance/or were obese.
Companies don't care how attractive you are if you're not in a customer facing position.
A greasy neckbeard wearing a fedora, tennis shoes, jeans, and a sonic t-shirt looks like a different guy if he shaves and puts on a suit.

swallow your pride you big fucking cunt

Companies don't, but women like the interviewer lady do. If you're ugly asf your life is fucked.

>sonic t-shirt

>>1005702
