Challenges in conversations

[OlLiE]

Does anyone else get irritated when:
- people are using too many words to explain something, i.e. you already know how the thought is going to end and just have to wait for the person speaking to get there
- when people use redundant detail to elaborate on something that could have been worded simply and succinctly
- people repeat things over and over during the same conversation, ending sentences the way they started them
- when people use 'emotional logic' to explain that 1+1 is 3, and just cannot accept that it is 2
- when people talk nonsense but the situation keeps you from calling them out on it
- when a conversation has no purpose other than to exercise jaw muscles

I seem to only be able to use conversation for either concrete things, conveying information or explaining a concept, everything else is just tiring and pointless.
The social aspect of conversation eludes and irritates me.

Yes, to everything you said, for spoken conversations. Be brief. Be precise. Be relevant. Very shy, self-conscious and analytical persons do not need more, and can get annoyed by more repetitive or draining unimportant chit chat or fluff. Get the points out quickly and go. Be efficient and effective.

I get annoyed even when a TV show does this. I frequently correct them or respond sarcastically, but I don't when it's an actual person because they tend to react badly. The TV doesn't care

I agree and it used to bother me more. It does bother me if I am in a bad mood. But if someone is taking the time to TALK TO ME? WOW! Ramble on, Friend. Ramble on.

Isn't that one of the things Aspies are accused of?
Long explanations.
I'm either non-talkative. Don't care for chit chat.
Or I get into something I find interesting or a sort of obsession subject and ramble on with a lot of facts.
