It makes me sad to hear that you have not found a way in which you don't need to struggle with yourself. Once that works, it is often possible to account for how you work and how others are different, and how to build bridges

Do you think it's the interface, or the purpose of your existence that makes you not fit in?

The interface is created by the force of your purpose, constrained by the affordances of the environment, and the senses that guide its growth. If you don't have access to all of your senses, you may grow a malformed interface, which leads to conflicts with self and others.

Most people grow the expected interface naturally and tend to be unaware how it works, and that there are other types of functional, but nonstandard interfaces. Thus, children like us usually don't get any training in reverse engineering and debugging our mind (or even a notion).

Re: harshness — you started this! by making this exchange personal from your end, when I mostly shared an aesthetic, which I have learned to disidentify with whenever I like. I don't identify as an autistic nerd, I just happen to have most of the traits for much of the time.

(Most 'normal' adults would not use a public twitter account to share their deepest existential and mental health problems with an unfiltered audience. It's useful content only inasmuch as it is interesting and leads to insights for the readers. My self model is not important.)

(That does not mean that someone's personal problems are not important enough for public twitter. But they can be too important.)
