I got into acting for a couple years (theater and even some small paid film roles) & the combination of that, plus lots of trial & error has allowed me to blend in much more effectively.
I basically keep my mouth shut unless I’m fairly confident about what I’m going to say too.
I know at least superficially this works. My bosses (amazon warehouse) have been training me on how to become a manager because they think I’d be good for it.
Not that I really want a corporate job like that, but I’m not gonna fight being in their good graces.
In addition, there’s a handful of VERY attractive women who are very flirtatious with me. Now granted, my elevated work status and naturally gifted good looks help in this department (and being mysterious in the eyes of women is rarely a bad thing) although I’m not really interested in a relationship right now between time invested in work/school.
(Though I did date a coworker I met here for 6 months before breaking up with her for seemingly being a gas lighter).
I’m not going to deny in my 1-on-1 interactions, my strangeness is more obvious. I have some work friends, but the smaller the group interactions we have (and the more frequent) the more apparent it is of my relative lack of interest in small talk beyond what is really polite.
Now granted there’s some people I have had good conversations with, but they’re mostly other STEM kids who enjoy talking about science/the world/universe like I do.
I will add, it was not that long ago (1 year ago even) where I was not like this, I had no direction, and essentially closed myself off due to depression.
But ever since getting out of the negative situation I was in, and finding a purpose, things have been radically different.
