People told me being the "nerd" will get me far in life but all it's gotten me is a codemonkey job.
>sit in mandatory 6 hour corporate "workshop" yesterday with ~25 people
>workshop is set by extroverted project manager chad
>it has no agenda or goal
>half the people spend the entire time talking (in a 6(!) hour workshop) and writing an incoherent train of thought about problems and opportunities onto a whiteboard/various post it notes
>say one thing about how to solve a particular problem I'm aware of
>"we're not here to discuss solutions, anon"
>???
>feedback round in the end
>everyone agrees in exuberance how productive it was
>"we didn't get a lot of input from you today, anon"
If you cannot TALK, you are lost in business.

It's just acting. Think of yourself as a part-time actor in addition to being a codemonkey.
I can talk for 8 hours straight, being completely engrossed in whatever pointless topic is under discussion.

It helps to mock them. Like how productive the meeting would be if anyone had offered any solutions. But this kind of thing works only if you are very confident and not a social outcast.

It astounds me how clueless autists are. Learn to play the game, simple as.

Is there anything in life autism actually helps you to do?

>> No.53656518

>>53656298
Autism helps you notice shit and discover how to fix problems.
The workshop you complained about is how problems and opportunities are spotted, so the scope was broader than you expected. This workshop actually seems like it would be productive, information silos are real and I could see that time being used not only to foster relations but to share how thinks work, creating visions one might not see otherwise.
Gah I've drank too much of the coolaid, but a lot of it is accurate.

Check out /agdg/ and see if the idea of making a game in your free time is something you feel capable of. All I mean is that maybe applying your intelligence to the creative space might reveal talent that you didn't realize you had.

Listen to this guy. Fake it till you make it is one of the BEST pieces of advice in any career. Be confident. If you're actually a nerd you are likely higher IQ than most present. Be humble and let your expertise build and don't be afraid to speak up. Stop being a bitch.

just learn how to simplify op - i do better in business when I try and communicate on the simplest level possible - one that you think would be borderline insulting to those you are speaking to

they will eat it up, you will be understood and appreciated for the first time. Next time you are in a group like this, literally think of the simplest relevant points you can make, and make them
