In our journey through life, we encounter various situations, ideas, and interactions that elicit discomfort. These feelings of unease, while challenging, offer valuable insights into our boundaries and preferences. A user asked on a forum, “What makes you uncomfortable?”
Here are some responses he got!
EATING SOUNDS
“Eating sounds particularly and loud sounds in general. It’s called misophonia, and hearing people eat causes My blood to boil. It’s a reaction that I don’t seem to have any control over.”
LOUD MUSIC IN CAR
“Can’t stand when I enter someone’s car and they turn up the volume of the music 1000%. Thank you, I love music, but I’d rather be able to listen to it in the future as well. The problem is that I don’t wanna be rude asking to dial it down because it’s their car.”
WEARING SMALL UNDERPANTS
“That one pair of underpants that are a bit too small, but I keep for emergencies, and all the rest are in the wash.”
GOING TO FANCY RESTAURANTS
“Everyone there had the same expectation of me as my parents. I never went to one for her birthday early this year with my friend and her parents. I had no idea there were rules to it all. I felt like the guy in those movies they find in the jungle after being raised by animals, and they must explain things to him. “Put your napkin on your lap.” Why? If anything is going to go down where I need a napkin, I want it up here with my food.”
NASTY ATTITUDE DURING COFFEE
“People who are mean and rude about being up in the morning pre-coffee. There’s a self-righteous and nasty attitude: “Don’t talk to me, don’t ask me questions, don’t look at me, or come near me until 9:30 or later, Is what I want to say, but it’s socially taboo to call people out like that, so there’s this uncomfortable.”
COUPLES HUMPING IN PUBLIC AREA
“I’m not talking about simple things like holding hands, hugging, or kissing. That’s cool. I wouldn’t say I like seeing couples practically humping in public like dogs in heat. Makes me uncomfortable, and it’s trashy as hell.”
HELP FROM STEPMOM DURING LEG INJURY
“Last year, I broke my leg on the FIRST day of football practice—my femur (the big thigh bone). I had a cast from my toes to up near my hip. My stepmom was a nurse, so she was all about helping me do the stuff I couldn’t at first, like shower or get to and from the bathroom. She’s immune to that, but to me, it was the most uncomfortable time I ever experienced.”
FAKE PEOPLES
“Fake people. I’m pretty hyper-vigilant but also very lovely and people-pleasing. I do well in situations that require socializing, but I will also lose patience (not that I change my demeanor) when I can tell someone is treating me oddly. Many people I work with are incredibly fake, and I find the interactions performative and odd. I put up with it, but I wouldn’t say I like it. Same thing with some people in my peripheral friend circle – we all know they’re being weird but ignore it. It’s mentally exhausting.”
BEING HUGGED BY UNKNOWN PEOPLE
“When I was in my late teens/early 20s, all my friends got into the stoner scene and hookah. And everyone always wanted to hug – even people I didn’t know personally. I hated it, and some guys think hug-avoidant women are some fun challenge.”
SOMEBODY ASKING PERSONAL QUESTIONS
“People who think that everybody has the same timeline and purpose in life. Like, “When are you getting married?” “When are you having a baby?” “Why don’t you apply for a higher position?”
PARENTS YELLING AT THEIR KIDS
“Parents yelling at their kid(s) in front of me, especially during checkout. I never know where to look or what to say, making me resent the child(ren) so much. Even worse is when they try and joke about it and say something along the lines of “teens, amirite.”
BEING THE CENTER OF ATTENTION
“Being the center of attention. For example, a large group sings happy birthday to me or any celebration/party meant for me.”
