I’ve been with this company for six years and been consistently sidelined and denied any opportunity for growth despite being highly qualified.

Neurotypical people prioritize vibes over most things socially… and you’re disabled in vibe detection and vibe projection.
If you want to level up your career, you need to practice interviewing and find somewhere else that will hire you… In my experience, internal career growth happens for people who get along well with the social end of things. I may suck at that, but I learned to handle the brief intensity of masking well for an interview.
Best thing to do is try to move around every couple years until you find a job where you can just focus on the work and disregard the social nonsense.
I’m not disabled that way… I just don’t care to socialize with most of them because I find them uninteresting and it’s painful to be in large group situations with a bunch of people that already know and like each other and be the odd one out. But I also think most people in my profession are dumb, and the entire profession is basically deluded, though there a few good people doing good work, so I probably carry that energy around everywhere.
I’m not in a field where good work is noticed or rewarded or appreciated–only egregiously bad work is noticed, but often ignored… Everyone is interchangeable, so getting along and fitting in are absolutely necessary. .
Honestly, I think I might be entirely done with it.
Interviewing for a fast food job today. I don’t know what else to do.
