Annoyance is usually a reaction to unmet expectations- like when people don’t act how we hoped they would- It’s not really about them- it’s about the mismatch between what we wanted and what’s real. I understand what you’re going through- I get easily annoyed too and am very aware I’m one of those people that’s impossible to please- but I think the thing that changed these situations for the better for me is (1/2)

realizing that annoyance is just information my body is struggling to process, not a judgment or a reflection of the actual interaction. It usually means I’m drained, overstimulated, or expecting something that person can’t give. I started focusing on making sure I honored my social battery levels and practicing the ✨graceful✨ exit from conversations that start taking more spoons than I have— and I found I had a lot more positive interactions and started genuinely enjoying people again.

TLDR: Annoyance = Overstimulation, Lack of spoons, or Unmet expectation Advise focusing on staying aware of your social battery and honoring your needs and taking breaks- even if it feels awkward. Quality of interaction > Quantity Much love ❤️
