This so much. Very very few people know the real me at work. I mask so hard. Sometimes when the mask slips (when my hyper fixations come into conversations), they're so confused. I've had so many people tell me that I come off very different (yeah dude, it's deliberate. Otherwise you'll all call me crazy)

My entire workplace is very binary about me, one half of me knows me as boring and the other half calls me nuts.
