How irritable are you?

Post Reply New Topic

I have a serious problem being calm and waiting my turn. I always felt like im so self centered when someone in traffic slows me down, or at the checkout or someone getting in the way of my work, I feel like their are too many ppl on this planet and would love to see many of them dissapear. Hehe, mean huh??

Often, i consider the general population as an inconvience to my daily routine, im glad i dont feel this by myself.

I been pretty irritable the last few days.

We're between terms and the Library is only open 8-5, so my schedule has been 8-5 instead of my usuaul 9:30-6:30. Trying to drive into the city at 7:30 was a big pain in the ass before they tore up the two main arteries on this side of the county. Trying to get out of the city at 5 is even worse. I've been eating too much protien at supper and I drank some beer on the weekend. I've been taking 25mg. of benedryl at night which in combination with clairatin or allegra in the daytime has been doing wonders for my allergies, not to mention making me sleep well, but it's been fouling up my brain chemistry. It's been insufferably hot and humid, this morning's low is 80F with a dewpoint of 78F, and I haven't had time to go for a walk in the morning anyway.

Normally I'm a pretty calm and relaxed guy.

I'm an irritable person who get offended quickly but people who don't belong to my family (after all, I may indulge in anger when I'm in the family circle) think that I'm not more emotional than a robot. I rarely show my anger among strangers.

um..

I can be patient and friendly with people if they are nice.

I can be quite irritable with people who are rude-boorish-bratty etc...

Negative interractions really take their toll on me..

If someone makes me irritable, it takes me a while to get over it. My heart beats faster...my fight or flight chemicals kick in...my thoughts get muddy.... and I am not nice to them again unless they give me a reason to be...(which can often be never)

I have a short fuse. I swear like a sailor when I played video games . I had a major fit last year when I was trying to put my new desk together and a screw was missing. I wanted to go to Ikea and scream at someone, but I'm too shy. Instead I just let off a stream of expletives inside my apartment. Sometimes little things like that set me off big time.

I'm not quite as bad when I'm taking Zoloft, but if I miss a day or two I'll get really irritable. I guess I'm stuck on Zoloft for life even though I'm not that depressed . I can't deal with the anger I get when I stop taking SSRIs.

I can become very irritable with employees in stores if they are mean to me.
Really the slightest bit of friction with people I don;t know can really set me off.

I am (by all accounts) one crabby SOB. I am the ultimate perfectionist, and folks' slow-tempoed, relaxed, 'who-cares' attitude just grinds my gears.

Glad to hear others share my disability.

I am quite irritable. I do get annoyed by people quite a bit. I also get annoyed by my own emotions all the time. Being annoyed by annoyance is an emotion that annoys me, and this emotion is quite annoying then I get annoyed by that annoyance, this new annoyance annoys me even more, and the more I get annoyed, I get annoyed that I'm getting more annoyed. Then finally I realize how annoyed I'm getting, then calm down. BUT then I get annoyed that I was so annoyed in the first place. I get annoyed by that annoyance, this new annoyance annoys me even more, and the more I get annoyed, I get annoyed that I'm getting more annoyed. Then finally I realize how annoyed I am getting, then calm down. BUT then I get annoyed that I was so annoyed for the second time. I get annoyed by that annoyance, this new annoyance annoys me even more, and the more I get annoyed, I get annoyed that I'm getting more annoyed. Then finally I realize how annoyed I am getting, then calm down. BUT then I get annoyed that I was so annoyed the THIRD time. I get annoyed by that annoyance, this new annoyance annoys me even more, and the more I get annoyed, I get annoyed that I'm getting more annoyed. Then finally I realize how annoyed I am getting, then calm down. BUT then I get annoyed that I was so annoyed for the forth time. FINALLY I calm down and I'm not as annoyed anymore, but I'm am still a little bit annoyed. However that little annoyance never goes away, so I'm almost used to it.

I have a tendency to be really annoying to a lot people. I never realize it until they snap and tell me off, I wish they would tell me straight up. Bah the unspoken rules of social interaction elude me. Maybe if I was telepathic they wouldn't need to tell me.

My life is one big annoyance. lol I don't get angry though. I think that also annoys people, that I don't ever really get pissed. It is more severe annoyance than anger.

In B.C., Wiley's Dictionary defined "bother" as: to snore, to burp, etc. One of the other guys told him he had a repeat entry - he covered all of it under "exist". I smile every time I think of that.

I have a long fuse. Way longer than it should be.
That said, I do get irritated quickly. I've just learned to hide it because of all the social conditioning.

Of course, after long hours (like the movie I was just working on... boy that was a long year!!), that tends to go away. The folks on set were only half-kidding when they said I had Tourettes, I'm sure.

only when my routine is broken, or people comment on the tv shows i like to watch
