People who make comments like stop overthinking, you think too much, you are too worked up, stop being so hyper and chatty. Heard it all my life. Maybe critics need to think more. Get worked up. It drives productivity. It helps me learn. What is wrong with intensity and passion?

Wow, you hit the nail on the head. I've heard that all the time as well, but have you noticed how you are usually better prepared than those around you? Or how when they get stuck, they come to you for answers? I think it's OK to explore nuance.
