What things make you angry/upset but doesn't upset/anger ot

I don't even know how to make a proper cup of tea.

^I do!

Sensory overload always upsets me, but no one else seems to notice whatever is causing my overload.

Making a proper cup of tea is an art form and should be treated with the utmost respect

^ Really? I make tea every day and I don't even think about it!

I get terrified when motorcycles drive by. My family thinks it's annoying but I have to cover my ears and I pretty much cried in my room afterwards.

I nearly scream aloud when noisy cars/vans/trucks/motorcycles drive by.

Generally, the things that tick me off and other people fail to notice change according to my ability to deal with them - either coming to change my perception of the issue, or blocking its ability to affect me.

Right now, I'm really struggling with the vibrations I feel from sources of all kinds. For instance, when reading, I can feel people walking around the house, cars driving by, pigeons on the roof, people opening and closing doors - the latter I have brought up on countless occasions, but people seem incapable of closing doors and cupboards quietly or gently for that matter.

I deal with my hypersensitive hearing with ear plugs under headphones playing white noise or environmental sounds, but this only serves to increase my somatic senses - the title of a Heller novel comes to mind.

I can't stand it when people try to fit me into a little box of absolutes, all rigid and stuck, because then I feel trapped and repressed and I need to be creative so much but when people try to stop me, it hurts so much. I'm in a huge mess over school because of all that. What to do? There's only about a month left, but I feel so worn out and overwhelmed and I keep having emotional breakdowns/meltdowns. I know that if I try to continue on the path I'm on and ignore my problems as if everything's fine, I'm just crash one day soon and not get up.

Stereotypes.

Clichés.

A lazy mind.

Wilful stupidity or ignorance.

Gender stereotypes and expectations.

Generational stereotypes and expectations.

It irritates me when people are always talking behind someones back. I think if they have an issue with someone they should just let that person know so that they can at least try to resolve the problem if there is one. I think it's even worse when they are complaining about someone who never even did anything to them.

When people judge others when that they barely know and act like their assumptions are facts.

Today in school I had this teacher who likes to engage the class a lot and overall I think he's a good teacher but today he had the class do some rather noisy activities. I spent a significant portion of that class period with my hands over my hears humming, but my classmates were having fun. That's one of the ultimate examples of something that annoys me but not everyone else.

Interruptions and deconstruction, generally, with no hidden motive, whatsoever.

I don't mind a difference in perspective, or to accommodate someone for a useful reason.

But, they're usually playing red light, green light. It's for control.

Things getting dumped on me the last minute.

Plans changing the last minute

People not sticking to their plan

Being treated different

Accusations
