When a personality type maxes out your nervous system

Post Reply New Topic

The type mentioned above.

People who want to proselytize to me. By proselyte I don't necessarily mean in a strictly religious sense. They have found a cause or the answer to life and they are the happiest most contented person in the world and want to share it and won't take no for an answer. I am a mellow guy 98% of the time. Bust this type of person makes me become discombobulated to the point of almost losing it.

I'd like to add the aggressive individuals.

Whiny, bratty people who always want to come in first, and who always want everything. If they're not in first place, then all they do is whine about it. Basically, spoiled people who are jerks.

I don't mind overly happy people, but if they're pushing me outside of my comfort zone in an attempt to make me un-shy, I can't stand them. I know their intentions are good, but they're just making me secretly loathe them. This has happened more than once to me.

People who are desperate to be in a relationship. It's like, calm down, it'll happen all in good time! And if it hasn't, then don't worry about it, it doesn't mean you're unworthy of dating. People are too hung up on relationships.

Talkative people. Sometimes I just wanna sit and not say anything in school, and there's always people who try and talk with me. Thankfully, there's some of my friends who realize when I need to relax, and when I want to talk.

Actually sociopaths act sort of bipolar too. They often pretend to be easy going and laid-back, but then they totally flip-out on you as soon as something doesn't go their way. lol

Sociopaths are arguably more "two-faced" than bipolars.

I'm such a debbie downer with what I'm going to say, but it's truly how I feel.


Every personality annoys me. I've never met a person that meshed with my personality. It's the reason why I knew something was wrong with me.

I'd also like to add individuals who have the need to judge others just for the sake of it, and have to talk and talk and talk about someone without not knowing about them at all. But, sure, it's very easy to judge others.
Also, abusive ones too.

Psychotherapists

Sociopaths.

Charismatic, smiling, manipulative etc...

Most personality types really suck the life out of me in one way or another, it's hard to narrow it down.

The people who drain me the most are those who constantly require some sort of participation or response from me, who won't let me drift off or just be there without having to pay attention to them every second. It's not really a matter of personality type because pretty much any personality type can be like that.

People pleasers, people who need to be liked or who need to think of themselves as being really cool and popular are probably at the top of my list. Those types look for validation and attention in a way that totally exhausts me. And those are the types who end up getting really angry when they don't get the kind of attention or appreciation they want.

People pleasers and people who try to be "helpful" all the time are the absolute worst. They act like they are just trying to be nice and do things for other people (which is bothersome in and of itself) but they always expect something in return for it. They won't come right out and ask for what they want, you are just supposed to know what it is by some elaborate system of codes and signals, but they inevitably get mad when they don't get it. Even if they just want to be thanked and appreciated, it's tiresome.

Yes, these people have a serious superiority complex.

They know absolutely nothing whatsoever about the people they judge, yet reveal plenty about themselves by the way they judge and measure others.

Willard, I don't know why but your post really made me laugh. Was it intended to be funny? Either way, thank you for the laugh. :0)

Overly aggressive pushy people. People who are loud. People who make me feel like I am being interrogated or who make me feel unsafe in my personal space. People who don't understand that others can be completely drained by the very presence of other people.

I just remembered one more type: those who are incapable of listening or learning.

The type of person who, when they have authority over you, will refuse to try to understand autism, or persist hard-headedly in the belief that you are just "acting that way" to be difficult. And then they apply harsh measures to try to break you.

Very difficult to deal with such people. Their minds are so sealed that they will not, and cannot, listen or understand.

I can think of 3. One is the physician brother in law I have: Super extroverted, talks all the time, pressured speech, SO Loud and to top it all off, smelly. NTs seem to be able to tolerate him because he is a doctor and I don't think he is painfully loud to them.

Another one is a manager at a restaurant I worked at who was the store manager. Terry as I call her was no more than 30 years old. Yet she was constantly angry with dirty looks, frowning, spoke very abruptly, never said Hi to anyone, often put things down hard in anger. How could someone get a job like that? Oh, she did work hard when we got busy but she was just plain mean. It constantly put me on edge, but didn't seem to bother NTs that much. How can that be?

The other type is a person not very intelligent and you are trying to deal with them. The example is I was shopping for carpet for 2 bedrooms. The salesperson was not intelligent and only gave me a speech about how the company was family owned. But he did not know about materials, colors, how much a carpet was, or how they install it. Later on, the installer came by with the salesperson and had to coach him every step of the way. I don't know how NTs deal with not intelligent people at all. This is upsetting to me because I spent $1400 on a carpet, a lot of money to me, and I would like to know about what I am buying.

Perky, peppy women with high pitched voices. It's like an ice pick to the brain when they speak. I quit my last job (it was a temp one anyway) because they paired me up with one of those women. She was a nice, sweet person I am sure, but the voice and bubbly personality was too much.

I'll agree with the sociopath type person. My sister is one. I watched her growing up, evolving into a master manipulator. She's to the point she believes her own bs. There have been several times I thought she was flat out delusional. We have never been able to carry on a conversation without setting each other off. The scariest thing I witnessed is her ability to adapt her voice, words, and mannerisms to fit the person she is talking to. She will tell them anything she thinks they want to hear to make herself seem sweet, caring, and sincere.

Maybe that is why we never got along, I have always seen through her act. Even when she was a toddler. Sad thing is I don't know if there is a REAL version of her.
