* KidsHateGrownupsConversations: Most of them exit the room or escape into their own make-believe world upon hearing them, for they contain abstract concepts that they weren't prepared to hear. Same with some teenagers, only they are slightly more articulate and tend to use more realistic coping mechanisms like music and sports. Although, since both parties know more than adults let on, [[ExactEavesdropping this trope can sometimes be mischievously averted for better or worse]].

* KidsHateChores: Many children seem to hate doing chores either because their parents are forcing them to do it and/or they rather play video games.

* LackOfEmpathy: Narcissistic Personality Disorder (lack of empathy combined with an inflated view of oneself [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex that often covers up deep insecurity]]). Antisocial personality disorder which encompasses the psychopath (lack of empathy and common sense) and TheSociopath (lack of empathy but trainable to "behave" ''if behaving in a certain way benefits them''). Some ''but not all or even most'' autism spectrum disorders, though in autism it tends toward "lack of ability to express empathy in a way that is understood." Some schizophreniform disorders and forms of dementia, though in those it tends toward "I don't care about anything at all."

* LimitedSocialCircle: People who are introverted tend to prefer a smaller group of people, when they want to be around people at all. Social outcasts also tend to have smaller friend groups since no one outside the group wants to associate with them. Disregardinf that, most people's social circles tend to get smaller as they get older, especially after they graduate from college (or high school if they didn't attend college). Employment, marriage and children leaves one with less free time to spend with friends, which can cause friends to drift apart, as does moving to a new city and friends dying in your golden years.
