Greetings!
As we all know that no one is perfect and that we're only made perfect in our imperfections which means, as people have their own weaknesses so do I and.for this reason, we must all know ourselves, our weaknesses and at the end try to manage ourselves for a peaceful co-existence in the society.
Like I have said earlier, no one is perfect and what might be a perfect thing to, might not be perfect to the other and this is where the individual differences emanated from. No wonder there's a saying that,” one man's food is another man's poison.”Indeed, this is the absolute truth about and what this means in the context of the topic in question is that, what pissed me off might be what give joy and energy to the other, but no matter what the case maybe, we are all still humans and one thing about us human is that, we will always be human.
Back to the topic before us, which is about what pissed me off quickly. Hmmm, to be candid with us all, there's many things or ways that get me pissed off, but recently, I have been able to curtail most of those things and this is maybe because of my advance in age and getting more matured day by day. Aside from this, I would also say, my change in the perspective that humans would be human anytime, anyday has really helped me not to be getting angry or pissed off anyhow again. So, I'm a changed person when it comes to being pissed off by human attitudes towards me.
But having said that, I would like to say, even with my new perspective about life and the people there in, there's this particular attitude of humans that used to get me pissed off and I would say no matter how changed I'm, this attitude is one of those attitude of humans that have been difficult for me to condone.
What's this attitude? This attitude as simple as it is can get me pissed off at the slightest moment and the attitude I'm about to discuss here is NAGGING.
The word nagging which is synonymous to complaining in an annoying way on insignificant or unnecessary matters is one thing I hate most in my life and this used to pissed me off often. To me anybody that complains about things that do not matter is not serious and must be avoided. Not only that, even if it matters, it will still pissed me off and the reason being that, I do not believe in complaints or murmuring but instead, I believe in you finding solutions to the problems and puzzles of life which are at hand.
One thing about those people that nags or complains is that, all they do is to attract people's emotions and sympathy to themselves which will not in anyways solve their problem but even add more and more problems and shame to them.
Though, I have also been a victim of such people, complaining of people not helping me nor coming to my aid. In fact, I nagged so much in the past, but what I realized then was that, instead of me increasing with my nagging, I was just decreasing without anything to show for my attitude as people would just sympathize with me and after leaving their side, make fun of me. It even got to a time that they were all trying to avoid me and this is when I changed my approach to life and began to live a life of my own without nagging.
So, now, whenever I see people nagging about life and its situation I just get pissed off as I would become uncomfortable within myself. Just of recent, my wife was complaining about the situation of the country and the like, saying everything is now expensive and that the government were not trying at all, at first, I didn't even give her a listening ear, but it got to a time that she was always and persistently doing the complaining up till the points that she tapped me to draw my attention to what she's saying. It's at this point that I got pissed off and I told her frankly not to nag around me again.
Though, I made her understand that it's not good to nag at every situation and that, instead of her nagging, she should find solutions to what's at hand as nagging would not put food on our table nor do us any good, instead it would bring shame to us and even make us vulnerable. It's then she agreed with me and even since then, we have been living fine and peacefully and we have equally been finding solutions to our problems.
So, nagging is one thing that I detest so much and I believe it's not good to nag as it use to irritates me, most especially the fault finding part of it, but instead of that, we should rise above our challenges to live a fulfilling life. So, if there's one thing and a way to piss me off quickly, it would be through nagging.
