I go through the same thing. I'm generally a considerate person, so when something that seems trivial to most people upsets me I feel guilty. I have these thoughts like 'man...maybe I shouldn't be so annoyed because they probably ___, ___, ___' (insert possible excuses in the blanks lol)
I've also found that sometimes I play down my feelings or lash out in the wrong situations. Like when I'm apathetic I think of it later & I go 'wow...why didn't I ___?' because the next person would've reacted differently.
