Someone is going to chime in about the tone of this post, with the ramifications of a decade-and-a-half of rejection on one's outlook flying right over their head. If the underemployed and NEETs got half the consideration that extroverts jonesing for just one water cooler chat (just one, man) got during the pandemic, we'd be one our way to solving not only their problems, but also the ones that they're uniquely equipped to tackle.

Thank you for proving my point. Enjoy being unemployable.
You don't need to be an extrovert to be employed. I'm not, and neither are most of my coworkers. But you do need to not be a hyper-aggressive sack of negativity that emotionally drains everyone around you. So deal with that, and you might be able to land a job before you pass.

The fact is, you, like most people in your society, will see exactly what it is you want to believe. The one thing you absolutely, positively don't want to believe, and will fight to the death to avoid knowing, is that your system is broken and corrupt, and it fucks people over constantly.
