So I make active attempts at taking inventory of my actions and the actions of others. I pride myself on being moderately observant.
I was sitting with a bunch of friends tonight, playing a game... As some of you may know, my hearing is okay for the most part, except when any (and I mean as little as the heater downstairs kicking on) background noise is introduced. The more background noise, the more everything sounds the same. If only two people are talking, I find myself struggling to keep up with conversations.
Well, tonight was one of those energetic nights where everybody thought it would be cool to talk at the same time. After an hour of hanging out there, I was exhausted and frustrated, trying to listen to these people. I felt isolated, frustrated, and a little embarrassed that I kept having to ask "what?" and have people repeat themselves.
:/ This sucks.
Also, slightly related observation: People do a lot of senseless hand-waving. I keep looking for signs, but... It's just a lot of flapping, and that gets tiring to experience, too.
