Hello.
I cannot find motivation to even try to change how i am. Others think i am rude (socially) even though i dont mean to or understand why they think that, but i dont feel motivation to change? I feel like this is who i am, and i dont want to change.

Well, you could embrace it. Cultivate one of those gruff, don't-care personas and really OWN your rudeness. When people say you're being rude, say "Guess I'm just a rude person then." Then you won't have to engage in politeness anymore (but you also won't be able to attract any human companionship that requires it.)
