Nothing you said sounded strange; I can identify. I guess for me, if being my true self is going to hurt or inconvenience others, then I try to be on good behavior. I don't see it as inauthentic, just more mannerly.
But weird and awkward is also kind of my comfort zone, so when it does no harm that's where you'll find me.
