It's one of my main challenges at work to not act it out on others during crappy periods. Noise cancelling headphones are a miracle weapon, even if I'm then switching music videos all day.

The other day I was totally desperate walking behind a smoker with a friend. Normally I just run a couple of steps to get ahead of the smoke, but of course that would have come across as strange to my friend. Instead, I kept exhaling trying to dodge plumes and failed to answer questions in a timely manner. Of course no one understands how something as trivial could possibly be so upsetting for me.
