To coexist means having tolerance. Can you be in a setting where someone is doing something that may become annoying? If you are tolerant of that person, then yes, you can. When I'm at work on my lunch, sometimes there are these 2 girls who sit at the table in front of me. The entire time the one girl does nothing but sniff. And I'm talking like 4 sniffs in 10 seconds. It's so damn annoying.

But, I tolerate it. And by the time my patience starts to wear thin, is when I'm done eating and I take my lunch box out to the car. So, it's a good place for me to go to just relax for the next 7 - 8 minutes before I have to clock back in.

I can understand where you are coming from with regards to people being irritating. It's just one more thing to work on.

Isolate myself, I need alone time to decompress.
