I will share this as it seems relevant. A few years back, I signed up to be a counselor at a wilderness camp in Southwestern Colorado. Hiking. Climbing. Camping. Living in a log cabin without plumbing at 12,000 feet for three months. I was very much not in my element. I had a great time. No one there knew me before, so there weren't any preconceived notions about who I was. It was liberating. However I also was at the bottom of the "coolness" ladder among the counselors, because I had no background in the outdoorsy skills that "mattered" out there. So doing things that I normally would shy away from was good for me. But yes, as you say, it screwed up my "game."
