This may be partly due to upbringing, as I've been making major improvements in these areas over the last years and don't seem to have base-level issues with functioning.
Apart from the lack of socio-emotional latent inhibition. I have to look away from faces when talking, e.g.
Conversation
When I'm not anxious, I tend to be hyperextroverted to the point of being a nuisance to people who can't deal with high energy.
I'm talkative, intense, very larger than life, sort of effortlessly/unintentionally taking up space.
I can turn this off, but it *wants* to be on.

That's mostly it for explicitly social stuff.
With empathy, I am ridiculously sensitive to sensory inputs and information about people in my environment, and constantly modelling people intuitively. I wasn't even aware of this until earlier in my 20s, but I have always done it.

🤔💭"this sound highly energetic and sensitive, and while it's true that that doesn't work well in normie culture i believe it's the weirdoes that move society forward, especially in times of crisis..."

If I understand, the quotation marks are you thought bubbling yourself?

Hmm. Yes.
My problem seems to be that I don't really have any sort of social circle that supports that, nor the unusual skillset/vision to just go into normieland and be like "I HAVE A PLAN!"
Without either of those, it's a fairly isolating experience.

"Who does this motherfucker think he is," is a common, seemingly justified reaction to me going around mask off, full spectrum high intensity.

The thing about Hero Licensing is: nobody will ever give you a license to do boundary-shattering things
kind of by definition

I agree and don't mean to suggest that I need permission from anyone.
I just need to be doing something relevant, which at the moment seems kind of far-fetched.
Given time and deliberate effort, it might not be.

I could prioritize practicing bullshit artistry to draw people's attention and resources into pointless, black hole-type BS.
Could, but wouldn't.
Visa's Slingshot Theory is one moon I keep pointing to: twitter.com/visakanv/statu
You could practice that bullshit artistry, and then once you have their attention, think of what you could steer them towards
Though that's some real sociopath shit

I’ve mentioned an essay idea to several people in the past week and have received a lot of positive feedback about it.
I call it the SLINGSHOT THEORY, loosely based on a sweet trick used by rocket scientists - using the gravity of a planetary body to add velocity to a spacecraft
