Loud people scare me sometimes. Makes me feel uncomfortable. Often times, I feel myself no longer being engaged in the conversation and just observing the loud, dominating voices and hand gestures. I feel like maybe they may be scared too. And while I express it through stuttering and nervous laughter, they might do it through putting people down and making racist jokes.
I guess at the end of the day, a lot of us struggle inside.

I reckon it's pretty easy to get out of sync with communication - things which seem to be inappropriate, jarring or just awkward tend to do and I find myself watching how something happens/is done rather than just watching it.
A good cinematic example is clunky dialogue or hokey camera angles.
As for loud people, i guess there are various kinds of loud and I guess a lot are fairly harmless - but if putting people down is part of someone's vocab, they probably need to also work on judging their audience.
And regarding your final line - I know I'm not alone in thinking that the number of people who have a clear idea of what they're doing outside the immediate is very few.
