Thanks for clarifying, I appreciate it.
The reactions of the people you describe sound very immature to me.
Yes, I would prefer not having to tell someone that I find them annoying, but if it were a friend of mine, or in my most recent scenario a coworker I have to work with, then the mature thing to do is tell the person what exactly bugs me about them instead of losing my damn mind at the end of the day, and a friend in the process too. I value my friendships and work environment way too much to risk obliterating it over something that could be solved as mature adults.
I can understand your frustration and I sincerely hope you are able to cultivate friendships with better people in future.
