At some point, I'm SURE that's why I had no friends. Then I essentially...learned to be dumb. Not that I'm proud of that, beyond thinking of it as a mastered survival skill.
I mean... just like the article says... I can tell almost precisely when to hold my tongue and just talk about whatever crap people around me are talking about.
Sometimes that scares me, like I'll get stuck in that state, or something... but then... eh. Something else happens and I realize that that's BS. You don't really lose it, just because you don't always use it. And, yes, it is a very handy survival skill.
