None of those "fears" reflect why I tend to be resistant to pair programming:

1. I just can't keep up with Vim wizards, they dart around a file at the speed of thought and I can't keep track of what they're doing.

2. It's too much social stimulation, which I find incredibly exhausting.

Whilst I don't enjoy people watching me as I work, it's not one of the root fears for me, because I don't see pair programming as being a watching vs doing equation.
