I like this interpretation. I think the entire reason my social awkwardness has diminished in the past decade is that I've learned to ignore worries about how people see me and just focused on trying to make things better whenever the opportunity overlaps my skills. 'Being myself' means fuck-all but 'using my skills to support others' has some meaning.
It's not a competition, and the universe doesn't give a shit who's happy. No one's owed anything. Make things better for those around you, and maybe it'll spill over. No guarantees... but as a hand it's all we hold against death and taxes.
