\u\Boorobford brought up a topic I struggle with. How do I be my true self if I am a rugged individualist? I will be honest sometimes it is hard to fully express myself as I feel too different, event when it comes to matters of faith sometimes how I view things are rather unorthodox to be blunt. But we are not talking about going to church now.

Even with my ex she would mention I would have long paragraphs to my friend about not her. She is right. I felt comfortable talking with my friends about Seasteading, about things related to faith, economics, intuitions, Operational Research, game theory, Jungian Archetypes, and other such stuff. And when I did try to it seemed to sometimes go well and sometimes go over her head. The only time I felt like I could talk about this stuff was when she doordashed. But over the phone? Hell no. Text or viavall.

So let me ask you this, how do I present what is unique about me without seeming like an autist? Growing up my mom would pound in my head talk about generic shit as people don't like to talk about the shit I mentioned. This would make me afraid to branch out unless I knew someone for a bit. Even now I try to be careful on certain topics with certain people as I don't like arguing when we are not going to go beyond the cable box narratives if that makes sense. I just have started to delve into unsafe topics with friends and after 3 years feel like I can trust him enough to talk about deeper shit.

So while this might be better on social skills, I am not really up for Ayn Rand jokes or the like so I feel I can be a bit less PC and get to the bottom of this. I hope that makes sense and we can talk about owning a personality that as the previous post I referred said was a bit more of an outcast personality. Thanks!
