Little Things That Bother You

People who repeat the same series of actions: whimpering/sighing/etc. within the same paragraph. ...really? Is that all they do? Drives me flipping nuts.
 
*gives snugs*


When your kid spills water on the rug, doesn't tell you and you don't notice it and then you step in it with your socks on. >.<
 
Someone asks me to edit a proposal. I say fine, they send me the .doc. I edit out their errors. The next day, they send it back to me with about a third of the errors re-introduced in slightly different ways. "I like what you did, are these changes OK?" No, they're not. That's why I edited them out in the first place.

When the muscles around my eyes randomly twitch. It's really irritating trying to type and see at the same time when this happens.

When it's deceptively bright outside because it seems warm but is actually cold, windy, and lies!
 
I dislike sleep deprivation, but I love it because when I'm tired I always have the most creative ideas.

What I don't like is the 14-hour sleep crash that comes with staying up for 2 days.
 
The nervousness I feel when I know I'm gonna be around a lot of people.
Feeling like I'm always being judged or looked at badly.
Depression.
The lack of focus I get sometimes even when I'm doing something I enjoy, ugh I just can't concentrate sometimes and it drives me nuts.
Feeling like I don't fit in anywhere or with anyone.

That's me, like pretty much 98% of the time. Especially in public.

Topic: I hate being in public, walking down the side walk, and after having had a great time, I say the wrong thing.

Example: comedy show last night lasted 4 hours (Gabriel Iglesias is cool like that) and as we're walking back to the car, we pass homeless people begging for food and change. I'm not paying attention because I'm broke....

First thing out of my mouth as I pass a homeless is "Damn, I'm starving. Sure wish I had some cash."

I have never felt like such a dick.

I can get past crowds some times, like if I'm at a concert or a public event where the focus is not me. But if its something like, say, a rave.... I can only go to those with a full-face mask, so nobody will ever know who I am and I can be as carefree as I'd like.

I seriously think I should be checked for Atypical Personality Disorder or something, because I've been this way since I was 4, and I recognize that normal, healthy people don't feel this way. Funny thing is, when I'm in a position where I have to be charming and sociable, like as a server or a salesperson at a store, all that disappears. Total CHUD one minute, Norm McNormalson the next.
 
I don't like overly large crowds either or talking on phones. I don't even like talking to sales people. I'm a HUGE introvert that way. I just like to do my thing where no one bothers me.... let me shop in peace, I will do it all myself. lol. >.< But yeah, I don't like that feeling of people looking at me and judging me and all that either. >.<
 
Try Karaoke. Scariest thing in the universe I you ask me it involves crowds, strangers, strangers judging you, sing in in public, potentially making a fool of yourself....

But if the crowd loves you and you realize you are there to have fun, not gain acceptance....

It can be uplifting in a way. Although I started small vocalizing a few easier Rock Band songs in public. But karaoke.....

Plus, if you get a karaoke machine and plug it in at a party where everyone is high (usually from weed mushrooms, LSD, or DMT like my buddy's parties) then it just becomes fucking hilarious.
 
I've done karaoke several times with friends... typically I'll sing with a friend as opposed to fully alone, though I have done it fully alone as well. Thing there is that I know I can sing, I'm just fearful of THAT many people watching me. I was like this with piano recitals as well and flute/band performances. And trust me when I say I've been in several. I've also done many voice performances (all choral, but still). I think it's just something that'll always be there. It's like public speaking... I HATESSSS IT! Though I've been told I'm very good at it. But that doesn't mean I'll ever like it or feel comfortable doing it or think of ways to get out of doing it, lol.
 
I can say the one place I feel comfortable in front of a crowd is in a ring, with wrestling you know the crowd is there and that they're there to see you but as soon as you're face to face with your opponent and you get into the first lock up of the match all your focus goes to protecting them and yourself in the ring while you put on a show for the crowd. Normally the fan base is kids and young adults for me and I think that makes it easier seeing as kids just want to see you go out there and "Beat the hell out of your opponent" lol. I have done Karaoke once when I was a kid and the people in the crowd actually had to sing along with me to get me going haha I was like 9 or 10 and terrified. I enjoy playing Rock Band and taking turns with vocals but only with friends and while we're drunk.
