Shout, Shout, Let It All Out. These Are The Things I Can Do Without..

[Truthful_Whispers]

Do you have one or more pet peeves in life that anger, irritate, or trigger you? For some reason, people smacking their lips loudly really gets under my skin. I believe it may remind me of my abusive step-parent from long ago, not sure.

The lyrics to the song was the first song I heard on the radio when I first started therapy and got into music again.

I do not have pet peeves except one, people tailgating me while I am driving. I have come a very long way and learning tolerance now, finally. Not perfectly, I am still over reactive at times, and I feel bad about that. Working on it. I need to be able to catch myself when I am doing it so I can calm down.

I wish you the best in dealing with your aftermath of what you suffered and endured.

Someone with long real or fake fingernails scratching them down a chalkboard is one of mine. I also wish you luck recovering from your situation.

People getting really close to me physically, irks me. Worse yet if they touch me, oh man, that ticks me off. Also, guys making passes at me or whistling at me.

People moving my things around... It's not yours, don't effing touch it!

Surprises... I don't even like wrapped presents. I don't dislike gifts, I just very much dislike having to open them!

People being "helpful" by doing exactly what you've asked them not to do!
Part 1 = major irritation
People being hurt and offended you're not falling down thanking them for it!
Part 2 = meltdown

"Interpreting" messages instead of giving them to me straight, when passing along info.
"Interpreting" things I say, without asking me. ((This is why I'm mostly friends with men... While I can understand The Secret Language of Wives... I don't speak it. I don't say one thing and mean another... Unless I'm joking.))

Passive Aggressive Bullshit of any kind.

Similar with passive aggressivity. Except when it's work I'm choosing. Then I bathe in discovering what on earth is the other person saying & just whyy wouldn't they say what they mean. People are fascinating.

Ditto on moving my stuff, also. Plenty of my abusers had the habit of moving my things and then long gaslight games.

People touching my hair. One of the touches I stand the least of all, irritation & anger producing, not so much triggering.

People assuming I'm being hostile. Borders on an emotional trigger; I want to start just to show them the difference & get seriously irritated at having to reign it down.

Inquisitiveness. But that one is bit hard to put together as what parts of it bother me and what parts of it trigger me and which not. I'm usually fairly dissociated & don't have the recall back to be able to say.

Foam rubber. Uncovered. Can't stand to touch the stuff, can't stand to be around it, can't stand to watch anyone around me touching it. Cover it and I'm fine. I have my ideas, but nothing certain.

Attention from people I have no interest in dating, especially when they don't take the hint I'm not interested. I will not make small talk with you, let alone do anything else with you. Just move on to someone else already!!!!!! >:(

People who are clearly in the WRONG job, yes, I'm looking at you, NHS 'therapists', too many of you clearly just in it for the money, please find another job! :banghead:

Our similarities to other primates :yuck: so embarrassing

People who cheat on their partners.

Chinese food

Finding yet another white hair lurking on my head!!! :(

I was never that great at small talk either. I have the best one on one conversations when the subject(s) have depth and personal meaning.

Me too :)

None ptsd related:

Loud eating/breathing/snoring. Yes sounds petty but it literally makes my skin crawl. I just can't handle it. It runs in my family strangely enough.

I'm sure I could be here for days haha. But that's my main one.
