These probably take the cake but so many of my symptoms are so damn annoying/crippling. The confusion definitely sucks.

Yep, I'd say that's par for the course for me, too (as an added symptom).
It really is annoying, isn't it? Maybe it's because we're not sure of the
problems of the others while we're being evaluated by them--they may be loaded with problems of their own which seek our concern. (Sometimes I just think they have greater ability to hide the feelings than I do.)
I can be concerned for those people only so far, though, because it gets in the way of my thinking, too.
I can't tell you how many times I remember a psychiatrist saying to me, "how important is that person?" (I've begun to think it's part of their list of things to say to reduce anxiety.)
You hit a major nerve with me on that subject, too.
Thanks.
