It's not biology. It's just... I could use some advice and I don't know anyone else who could understand. I keep trying to help people, but all I get in response is "shut up and go build something, it's what you do, remember?"
Every time I keep trying to branch out and do something with people that isn't looking at them through an electron microscope, I screw it up or get so neurotic about it I'm terrified of even trying again. How do you do it? How do you balance things like friends and a relationship and dealing with people when all they see you for is what you can do?
Colour me confused but, you don't seem to lack any of that. I mean, you have your roomies, who you're very close to, and Catseye, who, judging from the amount of fur on anything black that you've owned ever, still adores you madly. Dani loves you like a sister, but isn't, and therefore never had to, and I hear you and Jennie managed more than just fine at prom...
As far as I can see, you're suffering from a severe case of wytchbrat syndrome here; what do you think you're missing, chickpea?
What I'm missing is respect. Any time I try anything to help someone out that isn't a purely mechanical solution, I'm told to just shut up and get back in the lab. For all that people seem to harp about "you're more than just what you can do" - they sure don't act like it at times.
Maybe I'm overstressing about this. I know I'm on edge right now and probably not thinking clearly. Hell with trying to figure it out, I'll be in the garage. At least there I can figure things out.
I personally, after a lot of banging my head against a wall, have admitted a form of defeat when it comes to the whole assisting in the drama thing. It's not defineable, hon. It's not an easy sollution. I don't have enough prose for them, and that's usually what they want. I can offer hugs, though.
I think they respect you. But you're pushy and impatient and too darn logical and sometimes, that isn't what they want or need.

But speaking of hugs...
