Misanthropy

Sometimes it sets my teeth on edge how much people talk. I'm sitting on a train on the way to my parents' house and it seems like everyone on all sides is busy having loud conversations. And, lovely, the two pairs sitting in the seats in front of me, previously talking to the person next to them, are now talking across the aisle to each other. (Where are you from, oh I know where that is, I went to school at, My sister used to live near) I have my in-ear headphones on and I can still hear all this chatting. I didn't think I was feeling particularly grouchy or tense, but apparently I have no tolerance for human sociability.

I'm now trying to medicate myself with music selection.
