Unfortunately, in our society it is not customary to throw out negative emotions, but what to do, what to do if everything infuriates and irritates you? Is it possible to take negative emotions under control? It is possible, of course, but this requires serious work. And it is needed, if only because a person who is irritated and enraged by everything may have no friends or family left: everyone will simply run away from him.
Where does irritation come from and how to deal with it
It’s better to forget the very phrase “everything is annoying.” Before you calm down when everything is annoying, figure out what exactly is annoying, find the root cause. The culprit for this could be your fragile character, your perfectionism, hormonal imbalance, just the external situation (well, you’re always unlucky, so what can you do?), illness, fatigue and stress... First, try to make a list of specific irritants, where there is no place for an incomprehensible word “ All).By the way, when family members are annoying, this is a normal phenomenon. When people very different in temperament and age live in the same apartment, mutual irritation will inevitably occur: overly active children and fussy old people will definitely “get on the brains” of phlegmatic adults, someone falls asleep early, and someone watches TV at that time and etc. We really do eat each other's brains. But more on that later. When you have a list of irritants, it will be easier to pull yourself together, and you will also have the opportunity to think about what you can do about all this.
By the way, another very important point. Most often, what infuriates us in people is what we ourselves are sinful about. So, if someone at home irritates you with his disgusting behavior, or a colleague with his fussiness, take a closer look at yourself. You can work on this too.
How to deal with irritability?
- We accept ourselves and the situation as it is. This is the most unrealistic task, but one must strive for such a Zen Buddhist attitude towards life. So, if you are constantly unlucky and it unsettles you, take it simply as a series of stupid coincidences that does not reflect anything global.
If irritation comes from your perfectionism, for example, aimed at keeping your home in order, think about what you need more: sterile cleanliness in the apartment or peace in the family. A child will not be neat simply because of his need for active games and activities. If your husband’s piggishness annoys you, think about whether he will become a much better person if he stops throwing things around the room. As a compromise, you can delegate to your husband (and children) some unpleasant duty: walking the dog, taking out the trash.
We simply act not based on our unrealistic ideals, but focusing on the real capabilities of those around us. After all, a flexible person is rarely able to bring himself to the point of nervous exhaustion;
- We do physical exercise. Exercise is an ideal way to relieve physical and psychological stress. Thanks to physical education, we throw off all the negativity, which means we are able to overcome irritability. The only exception can be deep depression, when the body is extremely weak. A good option for men is boxing and football: in the first case, the negativity leaves through the legs, in the second - through the hands. Girls can also try their hand at boxing, but it is better to run or even just walk long distances.
Oddly enough, even homework can remove negativity, but only if it is active. And for the harmonization of mind and body, the ideal option is dancing, especially oriental dancing. Swimming helps just as well. To relax, you can resort to massage, baths with aroma oils, spa treatments and sex. But everyone who is nervous and irritable needs a punching bag. Well, you can try yoga: when you learn to control your breathing and body, control of emotions will come on its own;
- Let's switch! We simply switch our focus from what irritates us to something more pleasant, something that makes us happy. When we relieve internal tension, we allow our subconscious to relax, and this makes it possible to find the right solution. And finally, in order to relax, sometimes it is enough to change activities. You can also try to “turn on” pleasant memories if the situation is too annoying.
If no positive image pops up before your mind's eye, imagine a combination of white and water: this is most calming. We sit down, relax as much as possible and imagine how cool white water (namely white) is pouring over your head, over your face and shoulders, across your chest and all the way to your toes. Then it flows into the funnel along with all your irritation. We take a deep breath and open our eyes.
And you can simply walk away from some irritants. If you are annoyed by a certain person, then you can simply limit communication with him and not appear in those companies where he is;
- We monitor our thoughts. The main thing is to find negative thoughts in the entire flow. They are the ones who plunge us into the abyss of irritation and depression, they are the ones who cause aggression. And then you need to learn to turn them off at will. We replace the pictures: dark with bright and light, annoying with calming, etc. The main thing is that in case of severe irritation, the picture should be extremely joyful and bright.
But what it’s better not to do at all is to suppress negative emotions in yourself: this is generally a path to nowhere;
What to do if you find yourself in an annoying situation?
If you find yourself in a situation that irritates you so much, look at it not as the evil intent of a person or fate, but simply as a provocation. No one will deliberately behave in such a way as to infuriate you.
You can also come up with a way to respond to such provocations. It’s good if you come up with a method or work it out in advance. It’s just that if rage begins to arise in you, you will not come up with anything, but will completely surrender to this rage and irritation.
Be aware of your physical state when you are angry. Usually, when we are irritated, we provoke a physiological reaction, which further intensifies the irritation. Such a vicious circle! We simply take ten deep breaths and focus our attention on them.
Let's calm down now
If there is only one minute for this, we hide in the bathroom. Unbutton the top buttons on the blouse or shirt, remove the tie, and open the cold water. After wetting our hands, we slowly touch the neck with both hands. We rub it and move to the shoulders, while the pressure increases, and then becomes weaker. We finish with gentle touches and rinse the neck again.
One more way for one minute. We inhale deeply and take a piece of dry cloth in our hands. This could be, for example, a coarser towel or a wool blanket. We twist this blanket or towel with all our might. At the same time, we strain all the muscles to the utmost. Now we sharply relax our hands and relax them, throwing the fabric on the floor. At the same time, it is important to feel how the whole body, especially the arms, neck and back, relaxes. Ready.
If you don’t even have this minute, get an anti-stress ball. Still, all our nervous tension is hidden in our hands.
It can accumulate, and then an explosion begins. But it spills out not only on the one who caused it, but on everyone around. You need to learn to control it, not express emotions, not shout. This is especially necessary at a time when it is necessary to make responsible decisions.
Quick Exercises
Quick exercises can be done at any time, they do not require the need to go out somewhere and do not attract attention to themselves. Even during a meeting, you can cope with the stress that has piled up. Start with deep breathing: you need to take 10 inhalations and exhalations as strong as possible. At the same time, focus only on this process, stop thinking about the irritant for a few seconds.
Another way to relax is to count to 10. This is used before you start speaking so as not to immediately fall into accusations. Just slowly say the numbers to yourself and only give a speech after the required count. This pause will help you concentrate and not say too much.
A good method to stop worrying is to switch your attention. Remember something pleasant. Review in your head the moments that made you very happy and invigorated in the past, this will improve your overall well-being. You can also look out the window, this is also a way to distract yourself, especially good if the sun is shining outside. Smile at him, it will immediately help him relax.
Physical activity and water procedures
Exercise relieves any tension. Since adrenaline is produced during stress, it needs to be used, so do squats. You need to do this at least 10 times. You can also tense all the muscles of the body and then suddenly relax. Swinging your arms and bending over will also help you feel better.
Twisting a towel helps relieve tension. Take a regular waffle or cotton one, roll it into a rope as tightly as possible, tense your arms and shoulders. And then suddenly let go, let the fabric fall to the floor, but you will experience relaxation, which will also affect your morale.
Boxing is also a way. Imagine in front of you the one who caused the condition and start hitting him with your fists. Of course, you will hit the air, but it will be easier emotionally. For these purposes, you can use a special pear or just a pillow, if you have one at hand.
A contrast shower is a good way to relieve stress; if this is not possible, just wet your face and neck with cool water. With wet hands, massage the upper vertebrae and shoulders. This will relieve stiffness and calm you down.
People are irritated by the sight of a drunk person breaking the rules of social behavior. Or a person who talks loudly and laughs on the bus. These are episodic moments. But what to do when everything irritates and infuriates you often and for a long time? And this is not just one person’s question - why does everything infuriate me? - and the problem of all humanity today. There are various means and methods to get rid of this condition.
Someone goes to the pharmacy, hoping to buy a miracle cure, fortunately there are now pharmacies at every turn. Traditional offerings from valerian to modern nootropics.
Some people prefer to see a psychologist, who suggests, for starters:
- physical exercise;
- swimming;
- watching films;
- meditation;
- going to church;
- working through the problem in a group and so on.
There are people who trust not psychologists, but psychics and astrologers. They are happy to try out their entire arsenal - from cleaning field structures to medallions charged with cosmic nanoparticles. Condition - why does everything piss me off? - readily explained by the location of the stars.
Some are looking for ways to cope with their irritation, asking for advice, others do not want to know anything about it. Let's analyze the reasons for the state when everything irritates and infuriates, with the help of System-Vector Psychology by Yuri Burlan, we will find out what to do when everyone infuriates.
Why does everything piss me off
Man was created to receive pleasure, and for this he has everything necessary. It is important to be able to realize your desires and fill them using innate properties.
The owner of the skin vector will be enraged and irritated by every little thing if his need for novelty, for property and social superiority is not satisfied. Flexible, dexterous, enterprising, he manages to do several things at once, ideas are constantly born in his head about obtaining benefits. He needs change like air.
If such a person is limited to a few monotonous activities, depriving him of the opportunity to realize ambitious desires (earn a lot of money, climb higher on the career ladder), then after a while the non-realization of the skin vector will make itself felt, for example, itching, muscle twitching, fussiness, useless activity. The leather worker will spin around, tap his fingers on the table or beat out fractions with his feet, constantly strive to go somewhere, do something, speak quickly, rush, and fuss.
And also, having heard about someone more successful, who managed to move up the career ladder, receive a large salary or bonus, an unfulfilled person with a skin vector will experience increasing irritation. And the longer this irritates the skin, the more strongly his skin will react, losing elasticity, softness, and purity. The body may be littered with bruises from frequent encounters with furniture and jambs. Irritation will literally be written on his body, poisoning his already little joyful life.
People with the skin vector will be helped to temporarily reduce irritability by advice to periodically fulfill their desires: change the environment, go shopping, buy new clothes, start working out in the gym, or even join a competition. But the advice to go to nature, just relax in the country or go fishing will cause a storm of negativity - this is not for them.
When fists clench
The irritation of the owner of the anal vector will manifest itself somewhat differently. A professional and master with golden hands, from birth endowed with a talent for teaching and research. Scrupulous, thorough, patiently does his job, and then expects recognition and gratitude for it. Honor and respect are the main values in his life. Considers equality in everything to be fair.
Therefore, he will be annoyed by situations when he is not appreciated, is deprived of the opportunity to do his work slowly, is not allowed to complete the work he has begun, and is required to take initiative, for example, to become an organizer.
In addition, having a phenomenal memory, he can remember all the mistakes and mistakes of others, and is often offended. Any little thing will irritate the owner of the anal vector: paper not folded evenly enough on the desktop, a picture hanging crookedly, a non-parallel pair of shoes in the hallway, just the sight of another person who does not correspond to his concepts of what is right, honest, fair... Of course, the owners will be irritated skin vector, with their adaptability, ambition, desire to receive benefit and gain. However, the skin workers reciprocate their feelings, calling anal people slow, villagers.
In the speech of a person with an anal vector, who has accumulated psychological tension, critical notes and toilet vocabulary will appear, with the help of which such a person will express his irritation.
A psychologist may not know the characteristics of the psyche and advise the same as the owner of the skin vector. A sudden change of environment, for example, can greatly worsen the condition. They need something else: a dacha, fishing, a bathhouse, the old trusted company of comrades.
I want peace and quiet
A special category of people are the owners of the sound vector. Outwardly, you may not be able to guess when everything infuriates them, but inside they will have passions raging. Having naturally sensitive hearing, if their innate properties are not realized, sound people will increasingly avoid people and places where, in their opinion, there is a lot of noise. Why don't people understand them?
Solitude, loneliness, reflection - what else could be needed for happiness?
Gradually, without the realization of innate desires, the condition will worsen, any sound at all will cause irritation: a falling drop, cars passing by, the operation of an elevator, even the noise of a computer. Literally everything is annoying and infuriating. Earplugs don’t help, because instead of noise outside, it appears in your head in the form of intrusive dialogues, music, a song that suddenly “sticks” and prevents you from concentrating or sleeping.
In case of prolonged non-implementation, the sound engineer sleeps 12-15 hours a day, and then everything that interferes with sleep irritates and infuriates him. Then the period of hibernation gives way to persistent insomnia. Life becomes unbearable, thoughts of suicide may occur more and more often. As a rule, such a person is a potential patient of a psychologist, then a psychiatrist, and a candidate for a regular consumer of nootropics.

“...My mood became better and more stable, I stopped getting irritated and offended by people. And, most importantly, I now recognize the grievances of others. Now, when someone is offended at me, it doesn’t bother me that much. And before I was very angry and rushed to prove something. I clearly understand that I have launched a global process of changing thinking and psyche. Everything is still ahead..."
Andrey T., commercial director, St. Petersburg
“...Resistance to stress has increased incredibly. There is little that can throw you off balance. Now I don’t depend on other people’s opinions, because I understand that a person speaks through himself and his shortcomings. And if something happens, then I come to an even state much faster. And lightness appeared. In general, what I came for—self-confidence—I received in full and even many times more. In general, this was the best investment in your brains.
Now I’m not looking for the meaning of life. I just live and enjoy every moment. And life reciprocates with me.))) I enjoy every moment. And my hearing has also improved. I hear music much better and deeper. I feel the very vibration of life. I realized that my most cherished dreams are possible. And this is incredibly inspiring...”
Pavel G., sales consultant, Omsk

How to calm down at home if you are not in the mood and everything is annoying
You can use some techniques to calm your own irritation. To do this, psychologists often advise: 1) Take a warm bath or shower A warm bath will help you relax and unwind. And if you add aromatic bath foam to it, it will calm you down even more and help you overcome anger. Use essential oils of patchouli, neroli, lavender, or any other scent you particularly like. This innocent pleasure will help you find peace of mind. 2) Eat something delicious while watching your favorite movie Your favorite movie will help you calm down by evoking positive emotions in you, and eating something tasty will help you relax, since our psyche associates eating and relaxation. In addition, scientists have found that while eating, information quickly passes into the subconscious. Therefore, your favorite film should be funny, cheerful, kind, but not aggressive. 3) Good sleep Very often the cause of irritability is lack of sleep. Go to bed early, relax, turn off the alarm and go to bed. Sleep was originally intended to regenerate the body and relieve stress, which is what you really need! And again, in a dream, information is exchanged between the conscious and subconscious. If you haven't slept for a long time, your consciousness remains burdened. Get some sleep! 4) Take up your hobby Do you have something you like? Try to look for salvation there. After all, for many, a hobby is the outlet in life through which it is possible to ventilate all the filth that has accumulated in it. Creativity makes a person related to God, and anger is related to Satan. After all, creativity contains creative energy, and anger contains destructive energy. In addition, a hobby will help you express accumulated emotions.

At least once in their life, absolutely every person understands that everything infuriates him. And girls encounter this mood about once a month.

People are annoying - what to do
Scientists consider the theory of eternal irritation based on the theory of personality. That is, there is a concept that what irritates us in people is precisely what we are trying to get rid of in ourselves. In other words, if you don't like your laughter, you will be annoyed by people who laugh loudly in public. Such people are perceived by you as pressing on a sore spot.
And, according to the law of meanness, such irritating people pursue you literally at every step. You are like a magnet for inadequacies. And this is actually true. There is a psychological field theory. Its essence lies in the fact that like attracts like. That is, we unconsciously look for in the people around us what we don’t like about ourselves. We mentally endow them with certain qualities. In addition to the theory of “mirrority,” the concept of the field implies the interconnection of everything in the world. The phrase “accidents are not accidental” best translates the essence of this theory into a language that everyone can understand. Thus, we subconsciously surround ourselves with people who show us their own vices.
How to cope with this state of affairs? First remember, don’t try to run away from the problem. It will not be possible to completely isolate yourself from society forever. Whatever one may say, man is a social creature. Everyone has a need to communicate and exchange emotions. And, as is already clear from field theory, attempts to change the environment will also not lead to anything good. Sooner or later, you will surround yourself with negativity again. Therefore, the first step to get out of such a situation is to admit your imperfections and make every effort to correct them. And yes, learn to be more tolerant. Nobody is perfect.
The first step towards correction is awareness. Many of our problems with our “I” are caused by inconsistencies in our own ideas. Let’s say that as a child, parents constantly insisted that a girl should stay at home and give birth to children. And you decided to bet on your career. Even if you haven’t decided, you are forced to find yourself in this situation. And this makes you feel dissatisfied with yourself.
Now figure out what is more comfortable in your current situation? Yes, having a man next to you with whom you can calmly sit at home and give birth is good. And in the time of our parents, this was taken for granted. Today life is completely different, don't try to conform to other people's desires. Decide what is best for you and live that way.
What to do if everything is annoying
Stop for a moment and think - is it really all? Or is there just one problem, the thought of which makes you fall into deep depression or even depression?
A simple example: at the moment you are experiencing financial difficulties. This situation is, of course, you, day and night. It’s difficult to be calm and happy without knowing how to pay rent or how much money to buy groceries tomorrow. All your thoughts are focused on this problem. And often the negativity from these thoughts falls on the one who dares to pull the “sufferer” out of the world of his experiences.
One thing will help in this situation - the world is not to blame for your situation. Your child’s behavior has no effect on your problems at work; a broken car cannot affect your personal life. Understand and take it for granted.
All failures are related to yourself. You don’t work hard enough, you haven’t developed the necessary qualities in yourself. Realize your shortcomings - laziness, self-obsession, inability to prioritize. Don’t feel sorry for yourself, don’t try to somehow soften your imperfections. Trying to drown it out will result in the problem remaining the same. It will soften, become veiled, but will exist.
What to do if your husband is annoying
And again, in order to qualitatively “cure” a problem, it is necessary to find out why it arose. Most family crises are related to the fact that the man you married and the man lying on the couch some time after the wedding are like two different people. And in fact, this is not at all because your husband has changed with age. During courtship, men strive with all their might to please the object of desire. And for this they use any means. Including changing your usual behavior to the style that suits you. And after the wedding, posing as a knight without fear and reproach is no longer relevant. So they relax the muscles overworked during courtship on the sofa.
“So what now, divorce him or what?” you ask. Of course no. Try to understand your spouse, look at the world through his eyes. Having sorted out his motives and actions in your head, it will become easier for you to put up with the state of things.
Oh yes, and find out for yourself, are mugs standing on a shelf with their hands in different directions, and not strictly to the left, as you want, really such a terrible sin? Or maybe come to terms with it, for the sake of a strong shoulder, a native smile and a loved one?
Be more tolerant of people, learn to forgive - after all, no one is perfect.
