Trying hard with neurotypicals and failing

...See more Hi All, I have worked hard to unmask as much as I consciously can and I really believe in bringing my authentic self to people and logically I think, if they can't accept me than oh well. But that thought pattern doesn't actually work in hindsight. I'm feeling very rejected for being me and it feels really confusing. I am someone who once interested in a topic or wanting more information on a topic, I'll learn everything I can about that topic. Sometimes these topics are apparently controversial.. But I don't understand why or how they could be controversial when you have accurate information. I don't enjoy surface level conversations about weather, sports, etc. And inevitably someone will eventually insert their opinion/harmful belief about something that is factually incorrect. When I provide facts to try to eradicate that harmful dialect, Im then ignored. No one wants to talk to me any longer. Am I supposed to let people say inaccurate, harmful, and hurtful things? I don't tend to get emotionally dysregulated or anything providing the information, I just say something like "oh well actually.. ". Anyways, I'm now feeling incredibly isolated and rejected for being me. For having knowledge and sharing it when someone says something incorrect. I don't know what to do.
