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

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.
