Early 30s. But I didn't figure out social shit until my divorce at 40. Then I overcompensated by going out 6 nights a week and being a manwhore lol

I was so clueless in high school and college and married the first person interested in me. She treated me awful.

Personally, I had to figure it out by taking acting classes.

Like, social interactions don't make a whole lot of objective sense to me, but by learning how actors faked them on stage I figured them out well enough to mostly have my masking behaviors as a "subprocess" sort of thing. It still takes effort and energy but it's not fully conscious.

Disagree on the honesty thing, though. I can be bluntly honest like the stereotype but I'm also one of the best liars I've ever met. That particular foible might come from substance abuse, though.
