You look around and realize your surrounded by the most articulate and interesting people in the world, and inside you know your just a lame jerkoff who has no business being there.

    I recommend making yourself more interesting.

    For example, you could say that you're a free software enthusiast who's so passionate about open source software, you use an open source social media app instead of the corporate spyware.

    I used to suffer from that sort of problem, but then I started dressing like an insane wizard and being this weird all the time. Now people just expect Me to talk like an alien, so it doesn't catch them off-guard.
