irritability, interacting/listening to others

Hello, 

I was wondering whether anyone else experiences heightened irritibility when interacting with others.

I get irritated when having conversations with people I know well, like close family members because I feel like after years of studying them and taking in every detail as an outsider, their behaviour, outlook and what they say has become really predictable. 

I wonder if through struggling with undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder I have come to resent the ease with which neurotypical people can handle daily life, which seems so at odds with my own experience. Perhaps I feel like I'm not getting enough support and recognition for my own struggles and difficulties. 

These kind of over analysing of others and my irritibility is making my life really hard. I even find reading the books set for my university course, like autobiographies, really difficult because I'm tired of reading about other people's experiences in a world that I am not a part of/which I can't relate to but which I seem to know inside out from all my research and observations.

Can anybody relate or offer any advice?

Thank you,

Parents
  • ah, i get irritated sometimes because people just speak slowly and not get to the point and finish their words fast enough when i know full well what they are going to say because they probably said it enough times and its just a bore waiting for the end of it to talk when i already know what their entire sentence is, kinda like in games i already read the convo log i just wanna press skip lol sometimes i just answer before they finish their sentence as a sort of skip and just answer over them.

    as for being irritated about others lives... i feel that.... what irritates me more is celebrities with their big smiles on tv... its pretty annoying watching someone else so smiley and happy and it being all over tv to kinda just taunt you. like oh look at me and how happy and perfect i am and have everything... like. well good for you celebrity, your the only person in this world allowed to be happy while the rest of us cannot be. i feel we need real people on tv, not these rich fake celebs that are happy and havent had a propper life or experience.
