In my opinion, everyone has basically suffered a little COVID brain damage and lost at least 10% patience.
How do I know? Everyone is having this same experience: tries to describe an interesting idea to a friend or spouse, has the second person explain the status quo to them like they are an idiot. First person is infuriated by the implication that they are an idiot.
Happens to everyone. It happens to me, frequently, and to friends in front of me.
