My days are a little monotonous. At least today was a little fun, doing some math.

I often feel like, the more I speak with people, the more I feel like they're all just idiots. It's not always the case, but people just seem so slow sometimes. It's a little upsetting. I have this fantasy of speaking with someone and being understood so clearly, so transparently, that I barely need to say what I think. I can just hint at it and wave my hands around and the idea gets across.

Communication is so frustrating. I feel like I have to pry people's inner worlds out of them, kind of like I have to squeeze mine out, shape it carefully, put it in the oven and then quickly fry it (for flavour) before actually letting others engage with it, otherwise they're just confused.

I don't think I'm particularly complex. I think I'm actually quite boring and empty.

This frustrates me.

I wore my black trousers. Long time no black trousers.

Communication is so frustrating

Sadly it's a necessary skill to learn. I see it as another form or exercise. Not that I'm good at it.

    Basically communication is mind-reading. the trouble is some peoples minds are organized. you know that every organization system is different. others arent organized. some are neat. many are absolutely chaotic. many are slower or faster than you. But often only in some "disciplines"

    How could you expect of others to just read your mind? for there to be anything to read you need to expose things.

    from experience i can say it to be quite uninteresting to hang with people you can predict perfectly. what use are they to me? i cant have any productive discussion, they'll just answer as they have in my head. So the only use they have is for information storage. sadly that person didnt have that great a memory capacity for anything useful to me. (im not interested in macroscale electronics)
