Recently I've been attempting to understand people better. Not specific people, just people. For the most part the way people act and what they talk about leaves me absolutely stunned at how little they see. Why can't people just pay attention and get it right? But then I stopped and remembered how life works. Everyone has thoughts, everyone has problems. Only sometimes the answer is right in front of them and they can't see it, and all I can think is, why not? Sometimes people think I'm not smart because I pay attention to things and miss small things that truthfully, I don't care about. But for some reason things that matter even seem obstructed to most people.
One thing I've decided is that most people don't like to listen; they won't listen to something and then consider it. They're stubborn so whatever someone says is wrong. Not in every situation, but when the atmosphere is in a place where people get aggravated, listening to someone becomes hard. Its like how everyone forgets how to drive whenever it rains. Most generalizations I made about people were like that, so then I tried to figure out why people disturb me so much, what is the reason I don't see things like they do? First of all, I ask weird questions to myself, questions with no real answer but a ton of possible theories. Not sure if other people do that, but if I gave examples I'm sure that the questions wouldn't even make sense. I never seem to make sense, when I try to explain something I either find that I need to shut up because no one gets it, or I end up talking to someone about it until neither one of us still understands what we're saying; it builds up to get beyond us.
I still don't understand how people bother me so much though. If too many people talk at once, whether or not its to me, I end up wanting to scream until everyone shuts up. And just about everything people do makes me stop and just kind of think, "what? but why?"
Hey Bailey, I hope I'm not one of the people that bothers you by the way. I know how little sleep you get and I know when I haven't gotten a lot of sleep, I get bothered easily, so I don't blame you there. The main thing you have to consider is that everybody is different, and they have different wants. I know you really strive for greatness, but believe it or not, some people just want to pass school and have fun, and that's not necessarily a bad thing always. But they don't see the things that matter like you do.

Sometimes I feel just like this ("talking to someone about it until neither one of us still understands what we're saying...") and it is really awkward. Like Bailey L said, its not always a bad thing to want to get out of school and enjoy life. Over all this is a really interesting post and I enjoyed reading it.
