If you can meander easily in conversation, have a boundary for things you won't talk about. Earlier in my 20s I was in an interview that ended shortly after I mentioned that I didn't have a good relationship with my parents.
Rewatch the first few call center scenes from Sorry To Bother You. The idea of a "white voice" is also a class signifier, and utilizing a particular lexicon can confer an uneven advantage.
Rehearsing a couple answers to questions couldn't hurt. And remember, you're not "a little weirdo", you're unconventional. A diamond in the rough.
