What’s something small and simple that annoys you more than it should?

For me:

  1. When people don’t respect my need for space – Sometimes I just need time alone to reset, but when people push me to engage or talk, it makes everything feel overwhelming and out of control. I know it’s a small thing, but it feels like too much sometimes.
  2. Being called “too sensitive” – I get it, my emotions can be intense, but when people dismiss them as me being “too much,” it makes me feel like I’m not allowed to have valid feelings. It's like my emotions don't count.
  3. When people think I’m mad because I’m quiet – Just because I’m not talking doesn’t mean I’m upset. I can be processing my thoughts or just not in the mood to chat, but people always ask, “Are you okay? Why are you so quiet?” It's frustrating.
  4. When I get ghosted after a small argument – Even if it’s something minor, when someone pulls away or goes silent after a disagreement, it triggers a fear of abandonment. It’s such a small thing, but it stirs up so much anxiety.

Anyone else feel the same way about these? What small things get under your skin more than they probably should?
