i can't tell you where you'll fit into society. i'm certain you'll find a niche. perhaps not in a 'standard' job. it's possible you'll decide that your romantic ideal would be to spend the rest of your life as a martial arts teacher, or film star, or tumbling in a circus troop.
all i can say is don't give up. try to find the small things which you enjoy, which make life better than just existing, & then eventualy from there maybe you can piece together an acceptable living.
*hug* just try not to get too bitter in the process. it's hard place to come back from.

I am also actively considering learning sailing skills and becoming a pirate, in which case I need to brush up on my swashbuckling. You're welcome to do that, too, if you want. 9-to-5 jobs are for suckers.
This is Carly, by the way.
