and how do you deflect prying questions about you and limit these rituals to 2 minutes instead of wasting 30 minutes?

asking as somebody who, if not on the spectrum, is socially awkward, likes solitude, boundaries and to be left alone (to do the job)

I still believe none of your answers is going to help me because neurotypical solutions don't work for me but I have nothing to lose with this question.

Well if you do this at least you peaceful stated what you don't like. As for this

they WILL be offended and proceed to furiously talk behind my back and destroy my credibility

they didn't even build your credit in first place to destroy it later. Each person credibility is built by themselves by what deeds they do. and credibility can only be destroyed by one self by doing harmful deeds. plus as you said they talk about meaningless, worthless things so don't focus on what they talk behind you. and where focus goes, energy follows, so focus on learning meaningful things.
