I’m also irrationally annoyed by people who mumble, not because they have some condition, but simply because they can’t be bothered to vocalise words properly. You might have noticed a pattern here: I’m not annoyed by angry or violent people or by random events. I’m annoyed when people are incompetent at basic things such as walking or talking. Honourable mention: when you show a person undeniable proof they’re wrong, and they start doing mental gymnastics or ignore the proof and move on, still thinking they’re right. When people walk slowly, I don’t know why; maybe I’m just used to walking fast, and I’m always in a hurry. When I go somewhere, and someone walks slowly in front of me, it makes me angry, and I want to scream at them to hurry up. If someone, like my parents or my dormitory warden, treats me as if I were foolish, I know they are just trying to help and mean well. I’m a teenager, but it’s still irritating. I dislike it when they ask if I’m going to study or if I’ve done my homework. I believe I’m old enough and aware of these things already.

When they shout, it makes me feel petty, and then I don’t study because they told me to. I really hope they’ll stop doing it because I don’t have the energy to feel petty again. Lies. I hate those who lie about everything and everyone. You have a life you should be worried about, but instead, you spread lies about yourself and others. I’ve heard many bizarre lies in my life, like people lying about their friends and family who died or about the bad things that happened to them. I can’t describe how I feel when people lie about sexual assault. I often ask myself why people lie, and the answer is simple. They want to fit in; they seek attention. Or maybe they are just bored. When you’ve finished doing something, and have some time left, it should be your free time. It really annoys me when I’m mentally prepared to do nothing but exist, and it feels calm and pleasant. And then bang! New work. I just wanted to be left in peace, but I have a ton of work, and my inner peace is gone. How older people always want us, younger people, to respect them. I understand you’ve been on this Earth longer than we have, but that does not give you the right to respect us any less. I’m not
