Frustrating project

I finally understand why my peers used to get so frustrated with me in elementary school.

It is _very_ frustrating to listen to someone ramble on about something you have some clue about when you know you CAN figure out what they mean, but also know it's gonna take a heck of a lot longer to figure it out than it would them and cause a significant amount of mental pain and exhaustion in the process.

I can't get over how something can sound so easy in theory and yet be so difficult to figure out in practice.  Worse yet, I've probably talked myself out of truly believing I can solve this problem, when I'm probably overcomplicating it tenfold.

GAH!
