Yeah same, it's a friendly thing. Though I tolerate it when around people who speak English rather than French, Italian or Russian. Idk why, it's a context thing I suppose.

I can overlook a lot, however lies and deceit will end friendships and contact for me.
Once I know it's happened for sure.
Once I'm lied to or have my own integrity questioned then whoever those people are, family or friends, they're out with me.

Some people think it’s just them in this life. Noisy eating doesn’t really bother me (it’s when people act like it’s their God-given prerogative to spit while doing it that I have a problem) but overly loud talking and taking the piss with the way you chew gum drive me up the wall. My ears are plenty-sharp as it is without someone projecting like they’re speaking into something with the magnitude of a microphone for both lips or all four walls. I’m far from hard of hearing and that includes stuff I don’t want to hear. Stuff I’m not really trying to listen to but someone’s broadcasting it with the windows wide-open or with 101 volume.

Envy
Stubbornness - I know that I can be stubborn over silly stuff, but I'm talking about when it starts harming others is when it bothers me.
Manipulation
Deceitfulness
Not Being Willing To Forgive - We all make mistakes, what this type of person never realises is that it could be them on the brunt of a mistake, and they would want to be forgiven. Obviously if it's something truly heinous (criminal activity for example) then I understand not being so forgiving.
Greed - One of my main reasons why I hate Politics in real life.
Judgemental people - I ****ing despise it when an individual doesn't like someone because they have a hobby that this person isn't particularly interested in. Or something that is generally harmless, but someone will pull you up over it.
And my last one is hard to put into words, but it's in the other option on the poll. And that would have to be people who claim to be accepting of everyone and everything, and they never have a negative opinion or controversial opinion about anything, it almost feels like they are watching what they're saying or doing because they want to always be seen as a "good" person, they're also very cautious to make any jokes too, because they're worried about offending anyone in the room with them. To me I find it unnatural and genuinely makes me feel very uneasy around an individual like that because you never know what they're really thinking about anything.

People who judge others for resting. It’s a basic human right and essential for properly good health (and not falling half-asleep behind the wheel and potentially causing damage to someone or more other than yourself), not a privilege or a luxury. Trying to suppress people’s individuality and forcing them to be like you (similarly) is a no-go. Everyone’s their own person.

I agree with what you’re saying about judgemental people. But not forgiveness. You don’t owe people that if they’ve really crossed you, and it doesn’t have to be heinous criminal activity. You choose the people who are worthy of your time and set your own boundaries. Especially if the person’s narcissistic, you’re under no obligation to forgive and forget just to remain a decent person. There are people whose hate of them I’ll probably take to the grave because they just don’t deserve my forgiveness. I’ll tell you that for nothing.
Toxic positivity, by the way, is one way of putting what you’re trying to describe in your last paragraph.

Yeah, people who fall out over political nonsense are beyond ridiculous but when you’re confronted with people who’ve stolen from you, smear-campaigned against you, disrespected someone you care for deeply, they did the dirty with your other half, tried to make your or their issues your identity, betrayed you, all that good stuff. You have the right to draw the line and never get over it, even if you do eventually forgive.

Added to the bucket-list of loudness are people who can’t keep your confidence or preserve your dignity relatively because they don’t respect you enough or they just have the excuse of an exuberant, high-energy extravert who has little filter. There’s a difference between giving it too much of that and actually being a malicious gossip so I wouldn’t hate the person but sometimes a heart of otherwise rightfully-entrusted gold can be attached to a mouth that’s runny and gossipy. And unless they love you enough to practically be trusted with your life, 7/10 they will let you down via indiscretion. It’s just a matter of time. So I’m always a little wary of people who talk too much and worry what I might’ve told them in the past if I don’t think they’re capable of preserving the dignity. Doesn’t mean we can’t still be friends but I’ve got to be careful around you.
Redway
04-12-2023, 08:26 AM
People who are always quick to point out what’s wrong with others instead of what’s right, also. It’s alright when you straight-up don’t like the person or you have reason to find them annoying but when you’re supposed to be for people, I dunno. I dunno. I just feel like there’s enough negative morale in the world without every other word that comes out of your mouth about them being a slagging off because so-and-so doesn’t seem to be as pristine in one area of their life as you. That would fall under the banner of being overly judgmental, maybe even a little pharaisical about it, too. Every single person has at least something right with them and without stroking the egos of people who aren’t in the room it’s nice to hear a bit more of that sometimes, if you truly like them. Again, it’s not the person I hate in these instances. Just this trait of being overly judgemental to people who by-and-large are just trying to do life and get by respectfully and quietly. I want to be really careful with the way I word all this because a lot of the people who do these things and have these attitudes are actually really, really good people but at the end of the day nobody’s perfect. There’s always going to be something about you that someone else doesn’t like or rubs them up the wrong way low-key.

People who think that shouting all the time just to talk is good communication. I’m very-much about my peace and quiet so when someone’s forcing an over-loudness on their environment and bleeding your ears just because they have no volume-chill, I get pretty annoyed. It might not be obvious because unlike them I have chill but I HATE people being too loud in their voice and movements. Especially when the mood’s grumbly and moany rather than just happy-exuberant ‘I have no chill so allow me’ loudness. When someone’s just souring the air with constant whinging at ultra-high amplitude, I want out.
People who are extra-loud tend not to know how annoying they are. And this whole thing feeds into the lack of self-awareness that some of us are talking about. Every little thing you shout and make too much noise, and you wonder why people would rather not be around you for too long.

I don’t think we do but whether we do or don’t is besides the point. You can recognise traits in yourself that you know aren’t conducive to your best self and hate them even more when you see them in others in a more exaggerated way. So even at that it wouldn’t be hypocrisy.

People using prayer as an excuse to gossip about people over things that aren’t currently confirmed to be true. Some of those Zoom Friday night calls can be brutal.
Stuff like that in general. Will Smith might’ve been wrong to engage in a punch-up at that awards ceremony but in general “keep my name out of your mouth” is something that’s important to remember when you’re talking to more than a couple of people at a time about someone you don’t necessarily even know that well.
A loose tongue stirs up conflict on the grounds of something that might not even be true or still relevant, and unnecessarily gives people the wrong impression about the gossipee if they believe it unquestionably. Say it in a closed circle of literally one or two people if you have to say it. Beyond that it’s not just healthy conversation or spiritual-welfare concern (or whatever the case may be). It’s talking too much and too indiscreetly and at that point you’re a gossip. It doesn’t matter how good your intentions are. That’s not the point. You’re taking out someone’s right to personal dignity for them and at your own indiscretion-behest just because you can’t keep your mouth shut. Some things are best left unsaid or said privately if it has to be said at all (like I say). Nothing wrong with a bit of healthy gossip at all but slandering people openly and making judgemental assumptions about people for all to hear is not healthy gossip, nor is it a Christian value (if this is coming from a spirit of prayer).
Someone who’s already a bit cynical through negative experiences or paranoid about people gossiping about them in the first place will take that and take it to heart if they overhear it, and they might not ever get over it fully. Some people have to sleep with fans on just to (besides canning out noise from louder people in the environment) stop all of that poison potentially coming to their ears because of how tough slandering can be on someone’s mental health. Talking indiscreetly about them under the guise of spiritual-welfare concern (and it might genuinely be that) or trash-talking openly just for the sake of it is just confirming what is already a jaded expectation for them and giving them more reason to cut people off and be bitter and cynical about putting their trust in people. So gossip discreetly if you gonna gossip and take whatever it is you think or you’ve heard with a pinch of salt if you don’t know the person that well. You might not mean maliciously but still shut up and keep the window closed instead of openly talking too much. If you then turn around tomorrow and try and pally up with/befriend them after dragging their name through mpoto-mpoto mud, you’re tapped. And the joke’s on you if they already know. Why would they want anything to do with you after that point if you’re not so close to them that they’ll be more inclined to look for reasons to forgive you?
Also. People who can’t do anything quietly. I tend to be wary of people who are very, very extraverted. If it’s not too much indiscretion in their talking and over-gossiping, it’s too much unnecessary noise and not being able to sit still or close a door quietly. And a general lack of respect for basic personal-boundary principles. It shouldn’t be hard to not get too close to a stranger when they’re walking or avoid honing in too intensely on a subject that’s obviously raw for someone just because you want to keep talking but a lot of people just can’t help themselves. And it’s suffocating to be around.
