I was socially rejected in elementary and junior high, but that is because I hadn't learned the social protocols of the time among that age group. I blame that partially on my dysfunctional parents for which my mom is very retarded.

Midway through high school I learned via observation how to handle different situations and now I have no problem making friends. In fact I'm now becoming the popular one. A combination of self satire and impressive knowledge helps.
