Following a moral framework so strictly sounds so rewarding...

I say this as an autist historically riddled with anxiety: Life is meant to be lived. I kind of lived similarly for the first ~15 years of my adult life and I regret it as a waste. Get out there, do something cringe, stupid, or questionably ethical. Make dumb mistakes, because if you don't your life will be a void and you'll learn nothing and stagnate. Live a life worthy of telling it as a story. Get hurt and accept you might hurt others by living vibrantly.

I've been trying to do so for the past 7 years or so... covid set me back a little socially but I'm recovering again.

Yup. Take risks, get out of your comfort zone. Most of the time you find out you were anxious about nothing and when problems arise you can handle them.

"covid set me back a little socially but I'm recovering again." Same.
