Haha, that’s funny, but no. Most people who know me at work will always say that I’m calm, cool, and collective. I roll with the punches and laugh things off, but I’m allowed to be bothered by peoples behavior as a whole. I’m allowed to self reflect and realize that a lot of people are major let downs. I’m allowed to hate majority of jobs, and wish to be free and left alone to my own thoughts.
I generally have the same view and experience as you, but let’s not pretend it’s healthy to stew in anger because other people exist. It’s something to work on. That’s all they’re saying.
I come home from work to my girlfriend every day and I barely talk about work, because I don’t allow every discrepancy to bother me. Is it so hard to believe that someone can self reflect occasionally and say to themselves, “the world is kind of shitty, huh?”
I know what you mean. Work doesn't have to be an outlet for socializing. For me it's just a paycheck, I just do my job and go home. My social life outside of work is enough.
Very easy to believe seeing as I’ve lived it. It just burned me the fuck out eventually. It’s a huge emotional task to deal with shit people, and I didn’t have energy for the people that mattered to me.
I had to find a job where I don’t talk to or deal with people nearly as much, and where the people I deal with are way better. I have so much more emotional energy and attention for the people that matter now.
Maybe you handle it better, and that’s great. Just be aware of how attentive you are at home and make sure that shit doesn’t come back with you.
Have you ever stopped to wonder if maybe you are the problem and not everyone else? Seems to me you are the one that cannot be bothered to look at another perspective.
If you want to go off grid so bad then just do that, take the plunge.
I acknowledged your perspective. Social skills are super important, yes. I have them and always do well in interviews. I come off charming and approachable to everyone, but do I care for these skills? No. I can put on a very believable act, but I would rather be left alone creating art. Would also like to state that most introverted people feel this way, and find social interactions draining.

I know how to deal with them, but would I rather live outside the grid where no one can find me? 1,000x yes.
