To feel annoyed with lots of people and allow it to get to me?

Recently I feel like certain people in my life are slightly annoying and if they so much as make a silly / unnecessary or (probably unintentionally) hurtful comment I think about it a lot.

I complain to my partner and I can tell he thinks I'm a bit over the top in my thinking- and while he agrees they are annoying, thinks that it shouldn't let it bother me as much as it does.

At what point is this an issue?
I mean I'm aware of it at least, and I do try and be rational but I can honestly, by instinct, feel like certain people (around 5 currently all not connected to each other) who I don't want in my life anymore.

The fact there are so many makes me think maybe it's me?

Any thoughts appreciated!

I do think I'm just going through an evaluation of my own life sometimes and realise what is good and not good for me. That's all.

But I also do want to see the good in people.

Does anyone else ever feel like this?!

Thank you

I feel the same. It’s everything they say and everything they do. I have tried to see things from their point of view but now I am noticing how I feel- acknowledging it and trying to move on. They are mainly people I work with / encounter through work but also a couple of family members.
I have subconsciously reduced contact. I am hoping by being aware of my feelings it will pass .

I can relate. I found social media incredibly annoying so had to get rid. I moved area and kept in contact with one good friend. The rest just disappeared with no or little effort on either side to maintain the friendship. I find it hard to meet people on my wave length so to speak so I have been wary of starting new friendships and I tend not socialise that often anymore. I'm mostly happy with that but I sometimes do feel a bit lonely and reliant on just a few people to discuss my crap with.
