What are your Pet Peeves?

I have many many pet peeves, I could complain for hours.  Many are related to how people behave towards me.

• People making instant assumptions about me, which are way off the mark. Such as.
• I have white skin, so I must be English.
• I have a big nose, I must be Jewish.
• I avoid sitting at crowded tables, so I'm a snob snubbing them.  I'm actually close to having a panic attack at the prospect of sitting at a crowded table.

I also hate.

• Poor hygiene in others.
• Bad time keeping.
• People being really pedantic about spelling and grammar, who or whom?  My English is far from perfect, but it's a lot better than the people around me.
• Being given the same advice repeatedly.  Such as being asked to do something that I've already done.  
• Drunk people.
• Hypocrisy.
• Reverse psychology, my parents were full of twisted beyond belief behaviour which resembled reverse psychology.  My father's attempt to invite me to go with him, was shouting obscenities at me ( telling me how he didn't want to be seen in public with garbage like me) while flicking his wrist away from himself, and spitting in my face.

Etc.

Your father sounds like a terrible person to be around. I had to cut off family, because they were terrible people as well.

My family would yell at me in public, saying that I'm an embarrassment, and everybody on the street can see it. And at home, they'd say stuff like "sometimes, I just want to punch you in the face, because you're so f***ing stupid!" and they'd yell at me and hurt me. Family can be such terrible people.

My morals are to be nice and supportive to people, and even when family was harming me, I was trying to forgive them and I hoped that they'd change, and this went on for years.

But eventually, I learned that it's not good to tolerate this type of destructive behavior, and as long as I was around (the punching bag), they'd be in the habit of punching it and taking their anger out on it, and this was a very bad habit, especially if they're been harming me like this for a few decades, so I left them, and I removed the punching bag from their presence.

They can live the rest of their life living in their dysfunction ways, but I don't have to be a part of that. And once I separated myself from them, my life got better. I mean, I live a modest life, I work, come home, and everything is peaceful. 

Sorry to here that sucks. Makes me greatful for my parents who are incredibly supportive and understanding of my disabilities. Along with my cousin aunts and uncles too. Ironically it was people who I thought were mates who had to cut out of my life because they'd play phycolgyical pranks on me and take the piss without me realising until I realised what add holes they were. Small group of close freinds is all you need though.

It's good that you have a supportive and understanding family, and I think that's ideally what family should stand for. I mean, my family might have consisted of badly behaved people, but it does not mean all families are like that.

As for friends, I learned I became attached to a few friends that mirrored my family's bad behavior, since I was familiar with it. I've known them for about a decade, but after a few get togethers where they ended up yelling at me during the meal in front of everyone, and my other friends just watched it happen without interfering, and I realized that didn't want to be with these types of friends any more, so I stopped contact with them a few years ago. 

I'm happy that I have several people that I can be honest with. I don't want a lot of bad people in my life, just a few good ones who are supportive. That's all anyone needs.
