How high does my social skill need to be before I can say "it's their problem. they're missing out."? Imagine a scale of 1-100. I feel if I'm below 50 (which I still am), then people have a great reason to dislike me. If I'm 50 or higher, then "it's their problem" that they don't like me.

My goal is to be as like-able as the average NT. I find it hard to accept myself if I'm any less.

Any thoughts on this?

If they're missing out, then what are they missing out on? One might concentrate on building wealth and a comfortable lifestyle, thereby having something to offer, something that others place themselves in a position of missing out on if they reject you. What other things might one have to offer?
