You'd still want to socialize :) and people who do irritating things are never (beyond grade school) doing it on purpose. They are friends and colleagues that you want and need to spend time with.

But yeah, you have more control as an adult and minor adjustments make it work. Sit further from the guy who cuts his knife in the plate, go lunch by yourself outside if you're tired and the lady with the constand loud jovial laugh is at work today, use home office every few days, etc.

Understanding there is a difference that you need to adjust for and not just feeling you have to tough it out constantly, makes all the difference for most.
