Channel your energy into some process that leads to a goal. This should tire you out and bring the energy level down so you can be at a level below blast-furnace for other people.

Not saying there's anything wrong with intense, per se, but you need to direct it so it works for you.

It does feel very alone when you can't be accepted for who you are, except temporarily. I lived almost half a century before losing that aloneness, and of course I still feel it with anyone else on the planet.

I find it almost impossible to not be honest with people. When I say things it is usually in a pleasing or constructive manner, at least from my point of view. Yet I still never understand when someone gets upset if I tell them something they apparently did not want to hear, and then accuse me of saying something mean. However, it usually the sincerity and calmness in my voice and expressions, that calm them down and keep it from ever becoming a problem.

From my experience with people, often the longer someone knows me the more they like me, or say that they like me. So I would say things tend to happen the opposite for me. Strangers almost never like me. I think they are suspicious or nervous or something, I really don't know.

What's your passion?
I'm thinking of some kind of community service.
What did you do in high school & college? Any student government or group projects?
A church group? The local tree-huggers? Save that historic local building?
Maybe go to law school and free some people.
There's got to be something useful you can do with all that energy.
