You do realize that the whole brain/heart/kidney damage thing only happened to people who got severe cases of COVID and were hospitalized? The chance of that hospitalization alone happening in people who are otherwise healthy (ie not immunocompromised or severely obese) is vanishingly small, let alone the chances of organ damage. Your chances of brain damage in a car accident (even as a pedestrian) are far higher.
Only myocarditis seems to have been possible with just "long COVID," and that is still unclear in cases without hospitalization. It's also possible that it might be a side effect of the vaccine, too - the science on all of this is very messy and needless to say it's a political hot potato.
So yes, modifying your behavior because you think you might get brain damage from COVID is an irrational fear.
