Get your mental health in check as much as you can, find something healthy you love and embrace it, and educate your peers on socialism whenever you can without being obnoxious(join PSL if you are interested).
Figure out how to talk about socialism/communism/Marxism without using the terms us nerds use, even avoid socialism in general as term. Make your language common tongue to avoid both misunderstanding and red scare bs.
Most people I have found actually want to talk about this stuff if you don’t make them feel stupid or bad about who they are/what they do.
Don’t talk about it all the time, pick your moments, especially when it comes up organically (like elections or a new law or poverty or whatever it may be), it takes time to learn, I suggest using reddit /r/politics and /r/news to practice the mindset of engaging with non-radicalized people I n’a productive manner.
I speak three languages at work and my language can be weird sometimes. I agree with you, it sounds like I’m telling them to not talk about it and I don’t mean that at all.

I’m still working on the first part for sure.
What is the line between obnoxious and dedicated? I’m always scared to talk about it or bring it up in fear of being redundant or annoying
