getting irrationally angry at tiny things

Post Reply New Topic

wow that sucks.

I don't understand what it is with people who play music like that. I understand they have a right to listen to it, i also understand i have a right not to hear it. i understand if i have a problem with it it's 'my problem' but why are they so inconsiderate about others? it has nothing to do with empathy and more to do with common sense.
It's almost as if they have such a need to 'drown out' their internal dialogue wit music that they forget all sense of the fact they're forcing other people to hear it too. also reminds me of the whole "i like this so everyone else must too" attitude. has a hint of megalomania about it.

I suppose, if i do my best to look on the bright side, it's made me analyze my idea of empathy and how it works.
such a psychologically torcherous way of learning a lesson though.

you might have a right not to hear some else's boom box at Home Depot. (fine). but you have no method of enforcing your "right".

if you ask him to turn it off he might not do so.

he did not do anything illegal, so you can't call 911.

anyone can take out a civil lawsuit against anyone, but some lawyers charge 500 dollars an hour. and some lawsuits take over 2 years. and the plaintiff does not always win.

if you tattle to the security guard, the security guard might take the other party's side.

yeah i get the impression that they just assumed that they were just like "most people" and if they liked certain music "most people" liked it too.

and that the music was not that much louder or different, from when precious lil "people" sit around flapping their traps. joking and small talk and flapping their traps loudly in the Home Depot bathroom.

those precious lil "people" make me wanna puke.

the Home Depot blow dryer is so loud. almost everyone that washes his hands, turns on the blow dryer. it's like all that noise for what, a rocket? you would think it was some mechanical engineering device or something. but all that noise, just to blow dry some ret*d's hands.

what is so hard about putting in hand dryers?

those blow dryers gimmie headaches.

seriously considering avoiding Home Depot altogether.

but there are not many bathrooms nearby whose mens bathrooms contain more than one toilet.

Sudden loud noise is my worst hate. I can go from placid to angry in seconds. I think this is very common for AS sufferers. I've had to explain about it to my children. They know Daddy gets grumpy quickly due to sudden, loud noise.

I've had neighbors like that, too: loud music, loud partying and loud, drunken fights. It was awful.

Some precious lil"people" act like every time someone does something they do not like, it morally justifies any emotional response from them

And some of them act otherwise nice or normal whenever they are not giving a theatrical emotional response to the slightest perceived slight

There will always be plenty of them and only one of me

And I fear and hate them

I find it best to replace 'Angry' with 'Irritated' - Hence, there are those times I get irrationally irritated at small (usually not so tiny) things!

i get pissed off about stuff people type about online.
i seriously need to figure out how to not let it get to me so much because it's not fun being angry.

People who play with their phones in the cinema or talk during the film

I start with mildly irritated then full blown rage. Usually applies to inconsiderate noise that even NT people are annoyed with (obnoxious music, partying, arguing) but then theres my more aspie triggers that most NT folks don't notice (sudden sharp noises, music with a certain tone even when not loud, distant voices/foot steps). The latter seem to trigger instant rage rather than annoyance.

I've gotten angry over little things my whole life. Being in a better environment where I'm more accepted & supported than I was living with my parents helps a lot. I think just growing & maturing helped too like by working for example. Also being on the rite meds for me where I'm not as anxious or depressed helps & the antipsychotic Haldol/Haloperidol helps keep me from getting quite as angry too.
