Annoyance is a stressful place to be stalled- little things grate on your nerves, nothing seems to get done right, and Cooperation seems accidental rather than planned!
A person bothered by Annoyance can feel scapegoated and ridiculed by the rest of the family. Annoyance can cause the bothered person to see everyone else in a negative light. In time, ideas about never being helped or supported can move that person to another uncomfortable place, like Frustration, Anger, or Isolation.
Adults may find that they dislike themselves, and begin a downward spiral of self-criticism and complaint. Children and teens may begin losing friends, or find themselves in fights with peers at school.
Annoyance can begin to interfere with work or school, and minor illnesses may increase. |
