I would've thought it's mainly a teenager thing, but it's not. It's just the fact that I just don't understand the rest of the world. Some people is just beyond my comprehension, especially those who just, I don't even know how to describe them, I won't really call them stupid, but dense in a way I guess. Close minded maybe.
There's a reason why engineers tend to have problem trying to fit in with the rest of the world, it's not that they don't have people skill or that they are boring. Most of my mates from engineering are really interesting people. Although what I do find is that engineers like to hang around with other engineers because they think alike, and it's this no nonsense sorta attitude. That doesn't mean we don't joke around, but when we organise things: we go the most direct way and actually "plan" and "organise" rather than chaotic throwing ideas. We also hate things that makes no logical sense, which, unfortunately, seems to be the main ingredient in this world.
Stupidity frustrates me. It's not like I want the whole world to be Einistein, but honestly, it doesn't hurt to think a bit, surely. But alas. I think the problem most engineer has with the rest of the world (and I suppose I'm feeling it a little too, if not a lot) is that we don't understand WHY they can't understand simple things. For some of us things are so bleedingly obvious that it can get frustrating to see why no one else gets it.
And then the isolation, self-induced as it may be, is there.
