I kept acting like this until it wore me down. Now I give significantly less shits while being able to see things through a RP lens.

You're a neurotic RPer.

Start thinking about people's character and what intentions they have. Every relationship is a business transaction of some degree. Find out what you're "selling". People are coming to you to buy (time/attention/validation/help/knowledge/...) and you'll start realizing how every social interaction is really just a washed script played by their character as a means to some ends.

Also remember that people want good feelings too. Sometimes they do not want something from you but a shared good time. You may be a pillar in their life. Sharing good feelings and light-hearted social interactions is called 'vibing'.

The only thing worse than acting without thinking is thinking without acting.

Find a sensible balance between decisiveness and analysis based on context. Having vision to predict and plan ahead means that you can act decisively in the moment AND with good analytic backing.

Find middle ground.
