Yes exactly and here you are telling me that's fine and I shouldn't think that's unjust
Or worse, that I deserve it somehow, for being someone socially awkward that struggles to connect with people?
Thanks.
There's a reason I don't like how the world Is and think it Ought to be different. Social weirdos like me matter too :/

It’s neither fine nor un-fine, just not unjust. It just is. In all arrangements involving humans, the outcome’s better if the other participants like you. We’re social animals.

I'm fairly nerdy (or rather, a reformed nerd?) and I haven't met a single "supposedly socially awkward weirdo" person who doesn't have a spark in their eye or who can't ever say anything funny or who can't make a very astute observation that only they end up being qualified to make. Recognize that you are a universe unto yourself and that SOMEone else will notice that.
