Rationalizing the concerns
While walking around outside, today, I was thinking about how I have become deeply compromised and incomplete due to some combination of social isolation (which isn't really the case, any more) and deeply toxic thoughts being pressed into me. I spent a lot of time thinking about how to return to being a complete person. After all, if I am consuming the resources of a full person, I might as well act like one (otherwise, it is purely waste as I am no use to anyone).
I think that the core requirement is to develop some kind of reasonable confidence in oneself as an implicit statement and proceed from that position of deluded power. Assume all people are assertive and will correct me if I am wrong. All I need to do is behave in a confident, yet respectful and tactful, way and proceed with the assumption that I am permitted to act within the world.
Easier said than done and I am sure I have been here, before, but that doesn't make the realization any less correct.
Of course, correct me if I am wrong,
