Pet Hates

Post by Catwoman42 »

What are your pet hates as a dyspraxic? Today i had to queue for 10 minutes in a shop before I got served. I thought I was going to burst with frustration!I also hate having to ask other people for help, or to do things for me. I waited in for a gas fitter as he had not specified a time. Drove me nuts! Guess I'm just too much of a control freak and hate not doing things for myself. But queueing totally winds me up...

I don't do queues! Can't stand for any length of time but even without that I just wouldn't stand in a queue. I'd rather just leave stuff there and come back later so need to plan things like shopping very well.

I hate waiting for deliveries or workmen as I cannot settle I am on edge the whole time. i hate last minute changes in plans as I find them very difficult to cope with.

that's really funny, I try not to make any plans because I'll forget or things will change, etc. to I only do things at the last minute which doesn't give other people a lot of time to plan!

I don't really like waiting either. I wont fuss about it and I'm quite calm but it does annoy me. :(

I have dyslexia too and I really don't like when people who are able to spell and write correctly talk lyke dis. It also annoys me when people who are really intelligent and are able to do things a lot better than me don't use the brain and are lazy.

I'm trying to think of some more pet hates now.

where to start lol

i hate people pushing for info i am not ready to disclose.

i hate queuing also.

i have a need for instant gratification and can get very wound up without it and also can feel withdrawn without it.

i hate being in a group of mates and still feeling lonely and withdrawn.

i hate how i can be with others

i hate getting to a task to have to clean up after the last person and then clean up after myself as-well all because they don't!!

i hate feeling like it's always me making the effort with friend family ext. but i'm sure i feel like this because of the dyspraxia.

i hate peoples ignorance towards dyspraxia/dyspraxics and many other similar conditions

and last of all well most of the time anyway s i hate dyspraxia

Too loud noises, or sharp noises like knives on plates and polystyrene. Make me flinch something awful and then having to explain it to the person who has done it to ask them not to… which of course ends up with them doing it more because it’s ‘funny’.

I get angry too fast, If I’m walking with someone and having a conversation and they randomly start singing, or even if were not talking… If they got their phone out and played a game I think it would annoy me less than random singing…

People touching me for no reason, people expecting me to hug them and making me feel bad if I don’t. People standing to close to me.

Crowds, large groups of people…. Not able to leave my house without a pair of headphones as I seem to pick up noises too easily and it makes me jump.

Textures… too loose clothing… my own skin on skin…

There is likely a whole boat load more…

I have no idea how anyone puts up with me O.o
