I get incredibly annoyed about everything all the time. I’ve found if I vocalize why I am truly upset in a situation so we can talk about it, it helps. Like “I’m getting really frustrated that you’re talking to me about this when it’s your turn to do the laundry and you haven’t done it yet.” Instead of “I don’t give a shit about Star Wars”. I try to get to the root of why something he’s doing is bothering me and it’s very rarely the thing itself (except when he walks around the house loudly singing the one line of a song he knows over and over. That’s objectively annoying). I also practice some deep breathing and physically removing myself from his presence if I think I’m about to wig out. Not storming away but saying “I’m not mad I’m just going to take a minute to collect my thoughts”.

Thank you so much for this, I'm honestly so quick to get upset and have a bit of a hard time vocalizing what's bothering me, I think just taking a deep breath and giving myself some time to think/collect my thoughts before anything else would help a ton, I will be keeping your comment in mind the next time I feel myself getting irritated ❤️ thank you again
