Me: I saw a comic explaining the usual thing of how introverts spend energy interacting with others and how extroverts get energy from interacting with others and how that difference can be misunderstood as being anti-social.
Psychologist: Yes?
Me: Someone left a comment saying "Oh! That makes so much sense now."
Psychologist: [nods]
Me: How many times does that difference have to be explained before people get it?!
Psychologist: [laughs]
Another Frustration:
Why do so many people still have a problem with the scientific concept of a theory? Example: "Evolution is just a theory." "Theory" has been defined and explained probably millions of times, usually directly to the very people who say "it's just a theory," yet that term keeps being used incorrectly over and over. Why?! What do we have to do to get people to stop misusing the concept and arguing against a strawman? And please don't give me that they just don't want to "get it." I have a hard time believing that most people who claim to care so much about the strength of their argument are so easily able to just pretend to be ignorant. Some may just be manipulative jerks, but all of them? No, I can't believe that.
