Your families most hated behavior you have.

Post Reply New Topic

I thought this would be a fun topic to discuss.

1. Taking things one at a time I get called stupid constantly.

2. Getting stressed over small things.

Those are the main 2 behaviors that upset my family.
Thankfully my clumsiness usually makes them laugh and say watch where your going.

Anxiety

I got yelled at for that a lot in my teens.


When I was a kid, I'd say me saying innaproppiate things.

When I was a kid, overanalysing and caring too much what was fair and what wasn't. And my mother hated my stimming with a string so I kept it a secret. Now, I guess feeling no obligation to live with my family.

Sluggishness. I take forever to get out of bed, too long to shower, and am pretty slow in general. Combine that with laziness... oh noes.

My mother called me the pokay Little puppy because I was slow every morning for school and church. She also told me to "Pick up those rings be Sonic."

I'm very schedule oriented, that bugs them...

also: I hate to socialize outside of school and prefer to spend mt time in my room, this often gets me mocked by my brothers

My family doesn't show it (except for my sister), but I can tell they are really sick and tired of me asking them "Are you mad at me?" It's one of my catchphrases, along with "I'm going out to run!", "Did I hurt your feelings?" and "I didn't want you to think I abandoned you [because I went out to run]!"

-My strange sleeping habits
-Asking too many questions
-My indecisiveness (i.e. having to scour Amazon reviews and make excel spreadsheets before going out to rent movies, or to the library)
-Not learning to drive soon enough / fear of cars
-Getting angered/anxious/upset very easily

-Not learning how to drive soon enough
-My pacing- I get anxious and excited so I pace a lot
My strange eating and sleeping habits

Living by my own schedule. I spend the night with some of my family members but when I decide I want to leave, I do it and I think that upsets my family.

Wanting to come and go as I please. There are times when I need my family around but other times when I don't want them around at all.

It's annoying because I live with my dad who gets mad at me for leaving the place.

Long dissertations on esoteric subjects. I don't get much conversational contact with other people, so my family takes the brunt of my odd ball interests. They try to humor me, but I'm sure they'd rather talk about normal things, rather than hear about the minutia of distilling Scotch, or how a long recoil automatic action works.

You got yelled at for being anxious? How did your anxiety present?

Being highly antisocial. I get in so much trouble for that. "Come out and spend some time with the family Kerryn!"

I want to scream at them to LEAVE ME ALONE!

I mean, I was forced to play with my siblings when I was little, it drove me nuts, I was ready to grab a knife and start stabbing (never did though!! !)

Also being anxious. Mum tries to calm me down, which makes me worse. Only my bf can calm me down.

Well... seeing as my family is now for the most part either dead or very distant... not much.

But when I was younger?

#1. Nocturnal computer habits. I would stay up all night playing on the computer and sleep during the day WHENEVER I could get away with it. That tended to annoy various people. It was more a habit I picked up after I turned 16 though.

#2. Piano reluctance. The fights my mother and I had because she wanted me to play the piano and I downright hated it, but she wouldn't let me near the computer if I didn't... so I had to play two hours a day, including one hour first thing in the morning. I tended to just go downstairs and sit on the piano stool until I heard my mother yelling through the floorboards for me to get playing. This happened a LOT.

#3. My tendency to tease my mother CONSTANTLY about her decision to be a poultry farmer. I never let her hear the end of that. I used to call her a "Poultrémen Trainer" and occasionally jeer "Gotta catch 'em all" at her because of it.... That and I used to sabotage her anti-predation fences and whatnot so the foxes could get in and eat the chickens (I do NOT like chickens, but I do like foxes).

#4. My aggressive organisation of neutral property. For instance... the layout of the kitchen. The use of the chairs around the kitchen table. The placement of items in the living room. It had to be as I wanted it... and I would become VERY vindicitive if anyone tried to change that set-up.

#5. The book-piling. My room wasn't filthy like my brothers... but I had a tendency to pile up my books and schoolwork-folders at various positions about my bedroom (categorised by subject and size, generally)... until the whole thing looked like some mini-scale replica of a city... and a rather awkward to navigate one at that. Since my mother generally wasn't allowed into my bedroom on pain of dire retribution though (I had a habit of enacting my fleeting pyromanic tendencies on her paperwork if she annoyed me), that wasn't such a major problem.

#6. Fly. The border collie. I got it into my head for years that Fly was more trouble out of her basket than in it... so I systematically ordered her to go back to her basket whenever I saw her out of it... pretty much. It reached the point where I only had to LOOK at her and she would run back to her basket and cower there. There were several occasions where she actually tried to face off against me, resulting in mutual baring of teeth and growling.... but she always lost in the end.
Technically she was my brother's dog, but he didn't tend to care about her all that much... and neither he nor my mother thought much of the panic-switch I had basically enabled on her.



Can't think of anything else off the top of my head really.

1.Bringing things that I found in nature into my room, i.e. empty tortoise shells, rocks that I painted, sceletons of bird's heads would have my mom freaked

2. My anxiousness and seriousness about "small things"

3. I hated getting up in the mornings - school started at 07:15!
