I'm also the kind of person who gets very jealous when left out of conversations and who always feels left out when not with people I know. That gets me angry. Since I'm the kind of guy who doesn't boast about personal achievements, I also feel left out when people don't appreciate me for what I do. For example, earlier this year, I was in the relay team for Swimming National Championships, but being the kind of guy I am, I didn't notify it to teachers and stuff, and expected people to realise it gradually. Unfortunately, no one did until about two weeks AFTER the race. And by then I was over it.
wow, i know exactly what you mean there. lately at my new high school (where i didn't know anyone from before this school year), i might try to start of a conversation with someone i vaguely know and they just ignore me, although that may be because i don't talk loud enough.
people who say "i'm really smart" when they're talking about themselves annoy me too. i mean, they may be smart but they shouldn't go around flaunting it whenever they get the chance...people tell me i'm smart all the time, half the time i don't really know why, and the other half it's usually just because i helped them with homework or something, but i never say "oh yeah i'm really smart." then again that may just be because i don't have much of a self-esteem. this basically falls under the same category as well: what really drives me crazy are people who think they're just so knowledgeable when they're not.
and hypocrits, i can't stand them. especially when they criticize me about something: the other day this guy in my french class told me to stop *****ing all the time, for example, and then in the next class, PE, i noticed he kept making these snide commentaries about people who weren't playing softball well (i.e., everyone). i think he cussed me out under his breath once because i didn't catch the ball. i mean, it's a game, not world war III.
although admittedly i do "*****" alot of the time, i've been too preoccupied trying to get rid of my other weaknesses to notice that much. and pet peeves i have about myself? hmmm...i'm very anti-social (at least when i don't know anyone), my study habits are so bad they're past laughable (although i still get all As anyway...i attribute that to luck), i feel like i'm inferior to everyone else even though i'm probably not, i regret too many things that i really shouldn't give a second thought to, etc...
i generally try to be out of the way alot of the time so there aren't many pet peeves people have about me that i'm aware of, except that i complain too much...
for some reason i don't like it when people my age are taller than me either...(i'm already 6'1 though...yes, i know i'm ungrateful)
