Communication is the transfer of emotion.
Seth Godin
Image
No one can be responsible for where or how we each begin. No one has the freedom to do anything or everything, and all choices bring consequences. What we choose to do next, though, how to spend our resources or attention or effort, this is what defines us.

I feel like I'm treating people as I'd like to be treated.

If you need to conceal your true nature to get in the door, understand that you'll probably have to conceal your true nature to keep that job.
