>>11713979I would add to these a few observations:
There is a tendency to notice that when you leave things to your peers they seem to produce inferior results or have a more contrived and less efficient way of going about the process. In short, you want to do things yourself because you find the quality lacking from others.
It is difficult to perform well in school because it moves too slowly and is full of overwhelming tedium. Assignments feel like busywork which get in the way of the important stuff.
It is hard to be a persuasive speaker, or affable because when you try to explain things to your satisfaction it goes in depth far over the heads of your peers. At the same time, you may leave the impression of a huckster because of how people are tuned to language over content.
You have to reign yourself in around others all the time because at best you merely bore them and overwhelm them with your interests and observations, at worst you irritate them and push them away.
The world starts to feel smaller as you get older because more and more problems seem soluble, the mystery of the impossible seems to be less so, but at the same time you don't have time to know everything.
