I definitely get a lot more sensitive to what people say about me/annoying situations in general when I'm feeling hypomanic. I remember being at a large gathering with my boyfriend during the fourth of July, and getting extremely angry when a lady shoved past me. Normally it's something I would let go and be pissed off at for only a second, but I really had to hold myself back from reacting stronger. Lots of things were irritating me that day...I started crying when the fireworks only lasted for 15 minutes, for example. People were looking at me weirdly and that made me even more upset. Everyone is different but I wouldn't disregard your strong reaction, either.
