Speaking as someone who shares this trait with you, you should know if you don't already: this is a characteristic of autistic brains. (Not to say that either you or I are definitely autistic.)

Same; I have found it best to "keep my powder dry" so to speak, and have slowly, slowly learned to weigh my own sense of importance against various social values. I find it makes me more effective when it is indeed important.
