I think it has to do with a set of specific skills you need to develop to make social experiences more enjoyable, even the typically awkward ones. Ofcourse everything is always up for change with me. If I have something on my mind that I'm very interested in and want to figure out, I can focus on that to an extreme level and shut out every else, that's something of which I can say it's how I have always been.
It's not wanting to do it, not being incapable of doing it.

I know this is a post from a long time ago but this made me laugh.
