Put a brake on without looking dis-/uninterested, so more like teasing but keeping emotional distance. So just act, basically. The non-acting part would just be like becoming friends: getting to know someone, similar interests and all that (or none/little of it of course: move on). Just a bit like BPD-like distancing, but without the erratic, zigzag shifts: just gradually. Just a bit of sabotaging to protect yourself and to make sure someone is really interested, maybe. Just talking about eccentricity without divulging the full gravitas of this "eccentricity". Stuff like that.
Basically, easy does it, gradually showing more of the full you.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
