Annoying people are part of our life. It is not difficult to encounter irritating individuals in society. When we get to know such a person, we prefer to avoid them, or deal with them as little as possible. There are various personality features and traits that make a person “annoying” or, in extreme cases, “unbearable”. Someone who is described this way, is usually not aware of how they are perceived. Thus, asking the question “Am I annoying?” is a great start to understand your behavior and actions if they return negative feedback from society.
Annoying person would probably never realize their toxic behavior if not for signals and cues received from friends, family, and society in general. One of the most common reactions to irritating behavior is reduction in contact. People usually don’t want to get themselves involved in a drama, instead they prefer simpler solutions to problems. In this case, all they need to do is to distance themselves from sources of negative energy.
All people manifest personality features or have certain habits that can be considered vexing by others. However, some behaviors are perceived as more annoying than the rest, and have a higher chance of being found unpleasant by a bigger number of people. Let’s take a closer look at such behaviors.
People who display dominating behavior are often perceived as annoying. They constantly ask for favors and don’t take “no” for an answer. They usually don’t give anything in return and forget to express gratitude. Others must do their bidding otherwise they can expect a childish tantrum to be thrown.
Irritating individuals tend to brag about their achievements and possessions even if these are very minor. Boasting stems from lack of self-esteem and low confidence. To some people it is the only way to present themselves in a good light. Even though their intentions are good, the execution is unfortunately very annoying.
Another reason why someone could be annoying is lack of empathy. People who can’t understand what others feel and think tend to overstep social boundaries. They also fail to recognize cues telling them to stop. These are the kind of people that yell in public, honk their car’s horn for no apparent reason, or leave a mess in a restaurant. They don’t care much about the consequences of their actions and other’s feelings. Because unempathetic people are very hard to deal with, most prefer not to get into relationships with them.
Although narcissists can be empathetic, they still love themselves more than other people and, in result, prioritize their needs. They see themselves as more important to society, worthy, and valuable. They easily overreact when something bad happens to them and share stories about their misfortune with as many people as possible. No matter how minor this inconvenience is, everyone around must know what bad luck has befallen upon the narcissist. We can undoubtedly agree that such an attitude is verging on being bearable.
