some people trigger me so easily it’s scary. Most of them are loud, lazy coworkers that somehow piss me off very easily.

Is this a normal reaction to morons?

it’s not like I want to punch them, I’m simply relaxed and work better when I don’t have to see them. They slow me down.

    I’ve had similar strong reactions to other things. In my case, I had some unresolved trauma that I wasn’t even consciously aware of until I worked through it with a therapist. Not necessarily the case with you, but it might be worth talking to a professional if you have the means.

    That being said, every office seems to have obnoxious coworkers (that’s pretty much the premise of The Office, and why it did so well). And that can be annoying for sure. For me, I try to not take my work overly seriously, and I try to remember that others might find me obnoxious at times too.

      I had a similar experience, my trauma was from an extremely toxic relationship I was in. I was so sensitive that anything could make me snap.

      A therapist helped me develop coping mechanisms which helped, but I was really only able to start recovering once I left the relationship. I felt like a totally new person after I got away from them.

      imho, this is because everyone is obnoxious about something, in some set of circumstances, because we’re human animals.

      I’m hella sus of anyone who’s always good.

      Because you gotta know that ain’t natural.
