1. Having to hold back on humour because you know your audience won't understand the joke.
2. Having to hold back on meaningful discussion with loved ones because you know your audience won't understand your point or will revert to logical fallacies in rebuttal.
3. Emotional and sensory over excitabilities.
4. Marveling at the profound illogic of most people's day to day behaviours and decisions, and reconciling that with their right to vote being equal to yours.
5. Slow talkers and small talk combine to form my personal ninth ring of hell.
Whee, a 5 step journey to misanthropy!
Fortunately 1 and 2 can be largely mitigated by who you choose to socialize with and, for me, 3 is best poured into a vigorous workout or pet project. I haven't found a workaround to 4. With 5, I remind myself that I probably bore many people in my own way.
