Personality mirroring and lots of smiles ๐
I usually last about 6 months of masking before I break. The best job I ever had was at a college where seemingly lots of people were "different".
Sadly the campus closed down.
I've found that if I can mask long enough to prove my competence people overlook my being a fucking weirdo when it slips off. I do work in IT though so I'm kind of middle of the pack as far as weirdos go.
