I have written on here before how people annoy me. I want to change this but don't know how. I am in therapy learning some DBT skills, but don't see the psychiatrist again for a couple of weeks.
Here is how I get "annoyed" by people...Let's say I go to the mall. Someone may not hold the door for me, or I hold it for them and they don't say thank you and I get pissed off (I am Canadian so yeah we have the whole super polite thing going). I find what really bothers me is I look at people I don't know and they just annoy me. For instance if I see women dressed a certain way (say whatever the latest trend is) I get annoyed and think "get an identity you follower". I may be in the food court and someone is talking really loud and that annoys me. I see the negative...I don't look at someone and think "they look nice" no I look at someone and think "they look like a jerk".
Now-this makes me sound like a huge super b----. But the thing is. This really isn't who I am. I see the good in people. I may have nasty clients that everyone hates and see the positive and good in them. I treat others well, and can always see past the negative. So why when I am out does everyone just piss me off? I have ADHD and I think that is a big part of it. Now that I am off ADHD meds I get super annoyed by noise. With ADHD you are hyper aware to everything going on around you. I notice everything...and I have trouble tuning things out.
I just am wondering if there are any DBT skills or other skills that people know that can help me to deal with this?
Thank You
