Do you get upset over minor things?

[texyboi]

yesterday at the local grocery store a fat mexican lady (most r fat here) pulled up in here wore out car. When she went to get out she just flung the door open and hit the side of my car. I was coming out the store so I saw it. when she walked past me I told her she should be more considerate of other poples property....she then told me to go fuck myself.....yup that did it for me.....but I didn't blow up I just walked off

I usually try and blow off the little things unless they are repeated. There's nothing I can't stand more than someone repeating the same wrong action. Usually this is just because they aren't paying attention which I have no patience for.

I used to get severely pissed while driving due to road rage. I have really backed off from that though because I've seen it from both sides. A few years ago my dad got to the point of pulling over at gas stations or wherever to physically fight someone because of road rage. It's scary and irrational and I just don't want to do that. I don't understand why people don't pay attention while driving but it's no better to piss them off and make the situation worse.

Other than that I try to stick with the general rule that we are humans and we will make some mistakes so we just have to take it in strides.

Unfortunately, yes. I am still thinking about an incident that happened last week and I'm betting the person thought about it for 2 seconds and was done with it

Way too much bullshit upsets me......like if someone talks down to me, i end up feeling like less of a person and THAT SHIT NEEDS TO STOP. Also, if i am around some straights and they say "well, that is so gay " i get offended...i feel like they should be able to use a different word to describe how they feel....i must develop thicker skin!

(there are a lot more little things that piss me off, but i can't think of them all right now)

Small things bothering me?

When I was a kid, one of my sister's favorite phrases of advice to me was "Don't sweat the small stuff." She's three-and-a-half years older than me.

Yet, in all these years, I have never fully learned to act upon and live that advice. Something entirely trivial still might upset me as much as, say, a minor traffic accident or discovering a bad roof leak can.

I've improved on this over the years, though.

But I also find nowadays that a friend's problems are more likely to "get to me" than my own worries. However, though that mindset can be a hassle sometimes, I wouldn't trade away my empathy for ANY reason - not ever!

Nope, Don't sweat the small stuff. I just take it in stride.

Today I went shopping, stopped at the Dollar Tree. Had to go to 2 more markets because I'm having a party Saturday afternoon and my car was dead. It was just the battery and I have a jump start battery charged up and it worked so it saved the day, but I didn't freak out when it happened.

But I was in the supermarket with only one 10 items or less and I had to wait like 20 minutes in line, that pissed me off because I was already in a pissy mood.

I find that getting upset over small things is just a release valve for venting over what really has us pissed off. Yes I do at times get upset over small things. That's when I have a talk with myself about what is really bothering me.
