Actually, I never ask that question any more.

I've acknowledged that I'm different. But I have found a piece and pride in that fact. Or perhaps, I've managed to simply direct my inadequecy back on other people ("I'm different than you. But you're the one with something wrong with them, not me.")

But basically, I've found pleasure and contentment in inadequacy. Basically, we are all little children inside. Inherently, we all all 4 years old. So I find my little boy, I bring him out, and I love him. I allow myself to feel pain, to be "pathetic", to be weak. There is great truth in the statement that we are strongest when we are weakest, and we are weakest when we think we are strong.
