Following a moral framework so strictly sounds so rewarding...
I say this as an autist historically riddled with anxiety: Life is meant to be lived. I kind of lived similarly for the first ~15 years of my adult life and I regret it as a waste. Get out there, do something cringe, stupid, or questionably ethical. Make dumb mistakes, because if you don't your life will be a void and you'll learn nothing and stagnate. Live a life worthy of telling it as a story. Get hurt and accept you might hurt others by living vibrantly.
I've been trying to do so for the past 7 years or so... covid set me back a little socially but I'm recovering again.
How do I overcome myself? I've got plans and desired outcomes and it's running me into the ground.
Just as a side anecdote, but I’ve found that having desired outcomes is a surefire way to get disappointed and let down.
I mean that as in a singular desired outcome for any given action. The more specific the outcome or its prerequisites, the better you’d be not to expect anything and just go do the thing without overthinking it. Note: not abandoning or giving up on the doing of the thing, rather just go and do it and adapt to what universe and chance gives you.
Yup. Take risks, get out of your comfort zone. Most of the time you find out you were anxious about nothing and when problems arise you can handle them.

On second thought, I should not share that.
Instead of deleting, you could have just edited.
Still, commenting on your deleted comment is mildly hilarious. Makes me really wonder what skeleton fell out of your closet.
Asexual most of my life, unexpectedly did some over the top stuff, realized that what I did on Lemmy NSFW is not the best thing to say in this community.
