How often trivial things annoy you?

A fucking black hole
Eg. Clock's ticktock, spoon hitting the walls of the glass during stiring, faint sounds, squirrels, breeze and sweat, sensing the amount of air and being specific about it, people simply being in your peripheral vision, a big personal space bubble, quick sights, fonts, colour combinations, somebody faintly humming, repeatedly hearing footfalls, traffic, hullabaloo of kids playing, certain car sounds, etc

Do you like a great deal of being alone without anybody?

Misophonia. I spend 85% of my time wearing earplugs. And I spend way too much on them using at least 3 pairs during the whole day. (I sleep in them)
I regret that I started this a bit because without them hearing goes so sensitive that the sounds especially nearby are unbearable.
So my everyday well being is now dependant on having earplugs. :|

I tend to be okay filtering repetitive sounds out, but I get disproportionately annoyed at visual stuff - ads, gifs, moving emojis. I don't mind them if they're static, I'll never care about the comic sans font for instance.

Social stuff rocks my boat. People who interrupt, don't leave others room to speak, ask for favours they would not do for you, grandiosity and self-promotion, black and white idealism, demanding of attention, not recognising boundaries, self-deception, sycophantism, confusing bluntness and being an asshole (both ways), micromanagement etc..

I get distracted by virtually everything. Even just the idea someone could walk into my room while I am working already piss me off.
The issue is you can get desensitized to it to a certain degree, but it takes time.
I did not realize this I thought its normal, then when I started studying at later age at home and had headphones on my head and closed doors I found out that I can really focus so much more than usual.
It hit me that this must be the main reason I hate school or people.

Is this because or an inner moral framework (of course, a great deal) or is it because it the behaviour is so illogical that it does not make sense?

So I have health problems and the sicker I am, the less tolerant and happy I am. I get more easily agitated and annoyed by things that I wouldn't otherwise care about. It's like having 2 personalities. That's how much the physical state of body matters to mind.

In my experience overly annoyance and irritation tend to be symptoms. Whether it be mental, physical or both type of problems.

I'd think a healthy brain and emotional life are able to filter most things that are an annoyance, though ofc it depends on what type of stimuli we're talking about, frequency etc.

I don't consider those things trivial. Social flow is very crucial and central to people's lives. People who disrupt that flow will stand out. It might feel like those are trivial issues, but they often stems from pretty severe issues and they cause a lot of pain for the people involved.

Like most things involving people, it's a bunch of reasons. I've got a threshold for it because everyone makes mistakes and has reasons for stuff, but at a certain point it's a pattern.

I don't really approach it from a morally prescriptive place, it's more that I respect myself and my time and if you are someone who consistently frustrates me I'm going to avoid you.

@Minuend
Funnily enough, the better I feel, the more likely I am to avoid people based on the above. The difference is annoyance vs. frustration. When I am not well, I am more likely to feel annoyed but more likely to take it. When I am well, as the last while, I am constantly in motion. It becomes more apparent to me how others are slowing me down and I am more proactive in addressing it. It's also clearer when other people make me happy to be around them, so I tend to appreciate them more.
