Right?! It so annoying to listen to. Just pick up your feet, please!
And then they complain that they trip on stuff. Well, yeah! If you'd just walk properly, that would happen less.
when people talk to me while my headphones are in and get mad when I ask them to repeat themselves.
when people talk to themselves. I’m not sure why it bugs me so much. I’ve read that talking to yourself is a sign of intelligence, but I just hate it I’m always wondering should I be listening to this or pretend nothing is happening.
I don't know about you, but when I have my headphones on I have them on for two reasons: 1, I'm listening to something and/or 2, I don't want to be bothered by others. I say "or" because I sometimes just wear my headphones with nothing playing because I hope it deters others from thinking that I'm up for a talking. Also, I don't wear earbuds, I wear headphones; so, you can't say that they can't see them. Yet, while I rode the bus to school, people still wanted to start up a conversation. Like, no, leave me alone. I don't know you and I don't want to. Then there is my mom...like, the other day she was cleaning and playing her country music. She actually told me to put on some headphones if I don't like her music, so I do. And who decides they want to talk to me? Right, my mom. Like, seriously?!
You read it as a sign of intelligence? Ha! I was told it was a sign of insanity, being an only child, or lack of social interaction. Nice. Really though, I wanted to say sorry on behalf of those that talk to themselves as I have a tendency to talk to myself and I completely understand where you're coming from. Of course it is rude. You're in the room with someone and they talk to themself as if you're not there. I used to do that a lot with my mother in the room. Or I'd talk to myself in the other room and she'd come in asking if I was talking to someone...uh, no, I'm not. Now though, I wait till I'm alone since it's kinda embarrassing to have someone hear you talking to yourself but also because I tend to pace and I've been told pacing makes others nervous.
Also, the plural of octopus is octopuses, not octopi.
Whoa! Whoa, wait. The plural of octopus is
not octopi?! My life is a lie!
Wait, please tell me, the plural of cactus is cacti, right?
people scratching cutlery on porcelain plates
Oh, the sound of scrapping is awful. Thankfully, the noise doesn't affect me too badly, but it is unpleasant.
When people don’t respect that I don’t want kids and have to explain to me why I’m wrong.
This, right here. What's wrong with me not wanting kids? What's worng with me not wanting to be in a relationship? What's wrong with me with just wanting to live my life comfortably on my own? They act like I am doing a disservice by not wanting to have the 'american dream life'. They act like I just don't know what I want yet. "Oh, you'll have a boyfriend soon." No. "Oh, you'll want kids some day." No. I think my grandma, my mother's side of the family, has dropped it. I think they've come to terms that I'm not going to have a family. My father's side...well, they're conservative and christian...so, yeah. My father's step sister had the gall to say, "Things happen," while talking about getting pregnant. I'm angry about this because she was talking about the possibly of getting drunk and getting pregnant that way. Like, seriously?! Is she seriously thinking that I'm going to, not only go to a party, but also loose my inhibitions and let someone take advantage of me like that? Is that what happened to her to get her kid? Ugh, how dare she say something like that.
Adding to the list, I don't like the sound of people clipping their nails.
I prefer the kitchen cabinet doors to be closed, not left wide open.
Please, don't leave trash in the sink. That's not where that goes.
I hate when the lights are turned on when I am trying to go to sleep. When I lived at the old apartment, I would leave my door open since I have a cat and I don't want to lock them in or out of my room. Ma always flicks on the hallway lights when she leaves her room. It's awful. Now we are living in an in law apartment since I'm only going to be here for less than 3 more months and she only needs one bedroom. That does mean that I am in the living room, for now. Thankfully, the hallway light burnt out and she has yet to get around to changing it. So, that's nice.
Food having a crunch when it shouldn't have a crunch.
People trying to talk to me while I am focused on doing something. I can get snappy when I'm trying to do something and am interrupted, especially if I am having trouble with what I am currently working on. It's so easy to get irritated. Since I am more aware of my problem, I am trying to not come off as so verbally irked, but it is difficult for me to not have an attitude. Additionally, if I'm having difficulties with something, that can also bother me enough to get verbally and visibly angry. No, I'm not angry at you, I'm angry at this. Just let me be angry for a second and I'll figure it out and be content afterwards. May even laugh about how simple the solution was. Sorry, it's not you, I'm just easily frustrated.
