People annoy me too, doesn't matter if they're Aspie, NT or other. But I think everybody finds something annoying about eachother.

I just get agitated all the time, because of my nerves. I jump very easily, so when there's a person in the room who is liable to make a sudden loud noise what disturbs me, I lash out even more at them. For example, when my brother yawns he makes a loud roaring noise, which drives me up the wall. He does it every 5 minutes or so. But I can't say anything because he just says something stupid like, ''well you annoy us when you do X and Y'', so I feel like just saying, ''ohh stup up, you just can't admit you're annoying.''

People annoy me out in public too, like when I get somebody moving my bag on the bus just to sit next to me - when there are plenty of other spare seats where they could sit, without having to go through the trouble of moving a bag. Also people annoy me in shops, wherever I stand I get somebody creeping up behind me and saying ''excuse me can I get by?'' and it just seems to agitate me because I feel like saying, ''well can't you go the other way round, still the same short distance!''

God, people are annoying! Yes I know I'm annoying too, but I'm a person so why wouldn't I be annoying? But I do try to go out of my way to not annoy other people, unless it can't be helped.

Their ignorance, their lack of understanding... oh ya people can be so annoying >.<
It all comes down to personalities clashing I think.

Yeah, that's it! I am constantly surprised by the way other people react to things. It doesn't even matter how predictable it is, how many times I've seen it happen, it's like I still can't get it through my head that people are going to have those reactions.

Sometimes, I'm just as annoyed at myself as I am with others. Why can't I just blissfully ignore people and not let their behavior get to me so easily? Why do I have become irritated so quickly and let that irritation affect how I react? Often times I do want to be socialize or even just be around people without being an active participant in what's going on, but not necessarily be excluded from things or ignored. But it only lasts so long before I get tired of it or someone starts to bug me and I have to get away. They don't even have to say anything annoying. If I'm chatting with one of my roommates and I watch them put a dirty dish on the side of the sink instead of rinsing it and putting it in the empty dishwasher, or even just sitting it in the sink so it doesn't create a clutter, I'll start to get annoyed. Especially since I know I'll most likely be the one who cleans it. It becomes all I can focus on instead of the conversation.

But I am just as annoyed by people in general. Like another poster said, their lack of self-awareness, or just awareness in general of anything happening around them. Their self-centered and narcissistic nature, the passive-aggression, hypocrisy, the lies and manipulation, fake interest, niceness and generosity, their ignorance (and no motivation to overcome that ignorance) and closed mindedness, not doing what they say they'll do, their excessive need for pointless chit chat and small talk and expecting the same of you, their sense of entitlement.... I can go on and on. Sometimes I don't know why I even tried to fit in with other people. If only I had the confidence to do my own thing when I was younger instead of worrying about what people like that thought of me and wanting to be their friend. Such a waste of time. I wouldn't want anything to do with them now.
