Most others soon realize that I don't obey social cues and they feel uncomfortable and distance themselves. But that works for me since I am introverted and somewhat antisocial. People say I am "intense".

I always wonder how these relics make any money using systems that old. To do business with some of our clients, they audit us for ISO 27001 compliance once per year. Anything out of support would be flagged and we could lose a lot of business.
For me showering means standing in a windowless room staring at a blank wall for 20 minutes (I get lost in my thoughts). Also there are several steps and I have to think about each of them....
This is exactly how it works with me too. What has helped is caring less about completion and just going with the flow if I get bored and just find something new.
Hyperfixated on building a desktop, it's probably going to put me back ~2k EUR.
