Anybody else??

Today I had to go into traffic and it was very frustating... I  can't believe people do this crap every single day for hours.

You might be suffering from undiagnosed anxiety and depression.

Maybe he's perfectly normal, and all those people that zip around consuming like mindless zombies are the ones that need a shrink?

Who knows, I couldn't say either way since it's not wise to offer a diagnosis of someone over the internet..

I didn't diagnose him either, I said "might", same as you.

But, I can offer an opinion based on life experience. And, in my experience people who can't stand other people and noise are not happy, joyful and fulfilled people.

That's just a fact as i've known quite a few of these types of people and they are always really unhappy deep down inside.

Humans need other human interaction, and sunshine to thrive emotionally. That's also just a fact. No man is an island.

Have to concur that just because something has been outside of your life experience doesn't mean that you necessarily have understanding of a person who may see things differently.  Personally, I think those that can see that speeding somewhere just to get there 2 minutes faster and sometimes even jeopardizing others in the process are a hell of a lot smarter than your typical human.

An anthropology professor once compared our culture to an aboriginal culture in terms of free time.  An aboriginal man had sometimes up to 14 hours of free time a day whereas a man within our culture always had just a few hours.  The difference being is that, in order to pay for the comfortable house, the car that drove him to work every day, the toaster, the microwave, the suit on his back, and all the other "luxuries" in our culture, the man in our culture has to work to pay for all of those luxuries and spends most of his life working while the aboriginal simply just had to work to find some food every day.  Whose life is better?  Is one really more stable than the other?

Or another way to try to look at it is in this way.  When I venture out, I feel deeply perturbed at how many signs of unhappiness and a lack of fulfillment are out there amongst the majority of people.  So many people seem to try to fill the holes in their lives or psyches by buying a whole slew of things that they don't really need, forcing them to make X amount of dollars a year in jobs that also require them to stare at the back of the preceding car and feeling stressed because they're going to be late for an hour or so twice a day just to buy that crap.  Or, alternatively, hopelessly piling themselves into debt.  I go to a restaurant and I'll see a family or a group of friends sitting round the table, not necessarily talking and laughing amongst themselves.  Instead, I'll see them sitting in silence, texting or sufing the web via their so-called "smart" phones, burning away time that could have been used for more direct human interaction.  I don't see happiness at all out there and that makes me sad.  I wonder how can they not see the world and life as I do where I value face to face human interaction and have so much liberty to spend my time as I see fit.  I am comfortable and I am happy.  No material object outside of food in my belly, clothes on my back and shelter over my head is going to provide me with as much happiness as the people in my life with whom I truly connect with.

Just because something is outside of your life experience doesn't give you the right to judge another human being for seeing things differently.  Open your eyes.  Life doesn't have to be shaped from a cookie cutter.  It is the sorrow that I see and feel from others that drives me to be more of a night owl than a day bird.
