Casey I think I may have found your problem...Your profile says you don't like soul music! You just need to find the soul, and then you will be fine
I recommend "A Change Is Gonna Come" -Sam Cooke.
oh and btw I can't stand being around people eaither (besides a very select few)
Unless your social skills are inhibiting you from achieving your basic human needs (like getting a mate, for example), then, take on a "who gives a f**k" attittude. It's a spiritually liberating attitude, and it lets you project more of who you really are from within. Which, in turn, allows you to project confidence that is definetely percieved by others. And, if you are a young dude, this allows you to become more attractive to the female population, if that's what you're interested in.
While I don't claim to being "gifted" in the traditional scholastic way that you might be referring to. I empathize with you at a more intelectual level. That is, I am an extremely thinking individual. To the point where my thoughts were begining to alienate me from my friends and society in general. But slowly I learned to deal with these issues as they threatened to derail my life from any normalcy that I may have otherwise achieved.
I would definetely not inhibit whatever gift I have, but embrace it. Count your blessings and run with it. Make a better world for yourself and as many of those around you as you can affect positively. Peace!
Oh Yea! And Flex is right! Partially. Listen to Billy Holliday as well. She tear her soul apart and does all the spiritual cleansing for you; all for the cost of $12.50!
