Yeah, my strength comes with fleshing out ideas and getting them ready for an audience. I struggle with getting it down on paper. I absolutely love planning out a story, but I'll procrastinate for a long while on the actual writing, haha.
Believe it or not, I know where you're coming from. Not to that extreme, but I do think I have a much smaller case of what you're experiencing. I don't really feel a full range of emotions, with love and hate being two that I just can't seem to get a grip on, so my emotional spectrum is quite limited. I can't handle large crowds, and I miss out on a lot of sleep. So, I do know a little bit of what you're going through. These symptoms are more prone to people with creative minds, so writing isn't bad at all.
Oh yeah, I've had games where I only ran into my friends once or twice. There aren't any traps, but there are plenty of mirrors, holes, and grated floors that you can shoot through. I guess they want the focus to be on the other people. Given it's a pretty open space though, traps would be kind of difficult to play out.
