Linux users are losers

Linux users (aka Aspies), how's it feel to know there's an entire group of individuals who are better at social interaction than you are? Meet Windows users. They are better than you.

They understand conversations better, they understand body language better, they know how to network better than you. They understand the pros and cons of friendships(including fuckbuddies) because on windows, you'll actually have friends; they understand the principles behind small talk because they run into phrases like "how's it going" and "what's up man"; they can probably get laid too, since having sex naturally comes from knowing how to talking to girls(and this really pisses you off, since flirting was the one thing you always failed at on linux.) Oh, and they probably can even talk to geeks better than you, since most advanced windows users these days are ex-nerds who managed to learn social skills years ago, when it was much less user friendly.

At this point, a confident individual would admit to himself he has a lot to learn about socializing and people in general. But since you lack the self esteem to do that, you run back to linux, install the latest build of gentoo, and keep repeating to yourself "at least i can compile my kernel. at least i can compile my kernel"

If you're looking for a job, all this hits you even harder, because you realize a lot of the jobs require talking to people in one way or another. Even many of the linux related jobs recommend real interaction! At this point, you rationalize "well the only thing I know is linux, so I must be a linux expert!" as if knowing only one thing makes you an automatic expert, or that learning windows forces you to forget linux entirely.
