When things don't go the way I want them to in books or TV shows, I get very upset, and it drives my dad crazy. Every time they get a new doctor or a new companion on Dr. Who, I get angry and frustrated and start ranting, then my dad interrupts and refuses to talk about it any more, which makes me feel invalidated and unheard, which makes me even more upset. I think it's less the small things themselves that bother me, but that everyone I know laughs them off and refuses to acknowledge that I'm trying to explain how I feel, brushing it off dismissively like my emotions are less important just because I get upset over things that don't bother them.
