Following a moral framework so strictly sounds so rewarding...
I say this as an autist historically riddled with anxiety: Life is meant to be lived. I kind of lived similarly for the first ~15 years of my adult life and I regret it as a waste. Get out there, do something cringe, stupid, or questionably ethical. Make dumb mistakes, because if you don't your life will be a void and you'll learn nothing and stagnate. Live a life worthy of telling it as a story. Get hurt and accept you might hurt others by living vibrantly.
I've been trying to do so for the past 7 years or so... covid set me back a little socially but I'm recovering again.
