What do you over react about?

[Justin81]

I deal with a few people in my life that just plain over react about stuff that is so meaningless. The situations usually get resolved in minutes but the BS from the over reacting goes on for hours.

Are there things that you over react about? I don't usually over react at all. If I see my bank account is messed up that tends to give me a rise though.

 

[Helvete]

If I question anything my mum says she completely overreacts as if I'm personally criticising her; when in reality I just want her to explain what she said...

I'd say I'm the complete opposite to this.
The only situation I might overreact in is if something goes drastically wrong; someone I'm close to dies, or I discovered I had erectile dysfunction on day... IDK, material stuff i don't give a fuck about and human interactions never bother me either but things that affect me or the wellbeing of people who are close may cause unwanted reactions on my part.

false accusations

 

[Justin81]

Good one^ That pisses me off too. It means someone Doesn't have the actual facts on the situation. That of course is because they didn't do enough research. Boy, that does bug me.

yes precisely. there's something about it. i don't see anything worth getting frenzied over that isn't somehow a false accusation.

false accusations

yeah pretty much exactly that an different forms of it, like someone going through my things hoping to find something that is in some way incriminating, unfounded interrogations from "authority" figures that kind if thing, but if there's something I've actually done wrong I really couldn't care less and usually just own up to it as soon as I'm asked

I overreact when people don't communicate well.

Well our neighbour just knocked on the door and my first reaction was to hide in the corner to avoid any sort of interaction. My partner introduced me though and I was forced to make an awkard introduction. After that, I quietly slinked away and hid in the kitchen cupboard, where I found lollies - temporarily abating my FOFSI (Fear of Forced Social Interactions).

I was in the cupboard for a good 10 minutes before I decided that staying there was a bad idea, on account of starting to feel sick for eating so many lollies. So I tip-toed my way to the PC, so as to avoid alerting the neighbour to my whereabouts within the house and logged into INTPforum. My partner and the neighbour are still talking, and I feel physical stress as I sit here typing this. I am confined to this half of the house, since getting to the other side would entail crossing the path of the front door - meaning the neighbour will see me again. So here I sit...and wait.

On the plus side, this half of the house contains the computer, kitchen and bookshelves. So I could conceivably entertain myself and maintain normal bodily functions for quite a long time. If needs must I'll sleep on the floor and use the tablecloth as a blanket. Nights aren't too cold lately, I should be okay.

Am I overreacting?

UPDATE: He was actually here to give us a key so that we could feed his cats while he's away in Melbourne.

So I guess the end result is a net positive because I like cats. They're warm and cuddly and fluffy and cute and warm and cute and fluffy and cuddly and DdjjdJfjjdfpoJPJdpiojOPIJd.

Killing bugs bothers me. I accidentally squished a butterfly once and was traumatized for a wee bit.

... I found lollies - temporarily abating my FOFSI (Fear of Forced Social Interactions).

I think I have that too.

So, funny you mention this. I was in a pet store on Sunday. Get ready to be sickened. I'm fascinated with reptiles as I think they're amazing, artistically designed creatures. I'm moving my way down the isle and I get to the mice. There's one mouse in the food bowl and he's licking another mouse. At first I think , "oh how cute." Than I realize that the other mouse has no head left and the first mouse is eating him alive like a popsicle!!!!

I OVERREACTED!! It's the most degrading thing I have ever seen in my life. I called the guy over and he picked this mouse up with his bare hands. Get this, he blows on the mouse as if he were blowing fuzz off of it, lmao!! He realized that it had....expired, and he tosses the little guy/girl into the 55 gallon trash can. All I could think of was how are we much different??? We've had figures in history do the same thing. We shoot and kill and serial murder each other. We're no better than the mice. We really are just meat and bones. Every last one of us!

I was stalking your posts to find your cat thread and saw you posted in this thread.

One of the things I hate is the sound of the door bell. There just isn't anyone I would want to have spontaneously visit me that are likely to. I freeze and make no noise. Other than perhaps whispering to Latte that I don't want to open the door. Then he says I should open the door (Latte is usually naked and/ or asleep when the doorbell rings). Then I say I don't want to. And then I don't.

I also hate the sound of my phone ringing.

Also, I think I've met that neighbor you're talking about.

I'm actually wondering whether we are underreacting when it comes to the distant perspective we have on animal death and suffering. Not that we should be super upset every time an animal dies in nature, but I think in general humans underestimate animals' capacity greatly.

I like latter's tactic. Although to be fair I am often naked, I was caught at a bad time. It was one of those rare times that I was clothed in a socially acceptable manner unfortunately.

Important lesson learned: never wear clothes at home. Ever.

Chalk me up for that one too. I get really hurt/pissed off in a way that surprises me when people falsely accuse me of things, especially if I think they should know me better. I don't even know what to say, I can't even find words sometimes.

Then I get mad at myself because mentally I go into "loops" where I try to make arguments to justify their being wrong in my head and it consumes me. I've gotten better at dealing, I've learned to let it go, but it still can blindside me.

I also get touchy when people schedule things for me without my consent, and I don't know about it until late in the game. I even get frustrated at work when people schedule last-minute meetings, even if I don't have anything else; I just feel imposed upon.

I guess I overreact about people drinking alcohol because of my bitter hatred of intoxicated folk, and seeing people drink makes me furious. My mind really knows how to spoil a night out.

Smokers walking in front of me on a public sidewalk pisses me off, or even in a park when I need a quiet moment. I like fresh air.

I'll try to be intolerant of messy drunks too, I think they are more likely to ruin a night than a sober person.

Mouse anarchy (poor thing could have been starving? or maybe it was a vampire mouse?)

Totally agreed about human beings not being so great either, or at least that's what i try to tell myself when I deal with death.

False accusations, oddly enough I haven't experienced this. I've been lucky enough to have been accused of things I've actually done, so far.

^This... although I've learned to remind myself that their reality is not my perception. So I move on (sometimes I don't) On the later part, most people would find out the truth about the accusation and realize they're wrong.

But that feeling of being imposed on? It just ruins my day and I'll feel all sluggish that I don't want to do anything.

Teens (people in general) who don't know how to hang themselves properly if they ever opt in for suicide. The length of the rope, elevation off of ground, and persons weight should be taken into account when executing someone via hanging. Otherwise death by asphyxiation which is not what the noose was intended for.
