Not always possible to see a therapist at COViD times. You are spot in with your analysis and eager to try things suggested ; tweaking the thought process. Thank you! And you make the wonderful point that getting professional help is always a good idea.
But unfortunately, not everyone has access, so I try to share what has worked for me. Thanks for reading! Nicest article I have come across in a long time. I also have triggers due to my past. Including: a touch upbrinnging, racism at school and bullying as a teenager.
It took me time to become firm and speak my truth. Yet years later it has now come to a point where everything bothers me and I always am on the defense. Learning to power through despite these difficulties is for me a constant struggle. I have struggled with this for a long time. I carry a lot of weight for my entire family and often times I know I let little things bother me. Sometimes I start thinking about my life problems and it can get to the point of tears.
It could be something important like school work or just something personal like painting. The only thing I have to myself and complete control over is my thoughts. Please help me find some way to change my thoughts so they stop messing up my life. Secondly, do you think that something from the past is triggering you? Thank you so much.
I just stumbled on your article because small things like people not acknowledging my best wishes bothers me when they have time to reply to others. Another one is not using caps while mentioning my name but they use caps for few others. So I just googled today why small things bother me and I already found this question on google which means many people are like me.
Your article is great and gave me little bit of clarity. Difficult task but will try and practice self care and how to expect less from others for better mental peace. Have patience with yourself and adopt a growth mindset. Hi Jennifer. Went through your post. Just like us. Just like human beings. A loss sends us into a spiral. An uncontrollable, spirling feeling you feel coming up your throat. Oftentimes, when we experience loss, we beg for the "one mores".
One more hug, please. Can I have one more kiss? Just one more laugh we can share? We wish for these experiences to just happen once more as if that would ever be enough. The reality is that even if we were privileged with one more, we would want another.
And another. We'd never be satisfied. We'd eventually just wish for eternity. Loss is necessary. Loss is natural. Loss is inevitable. Loss was never defined as easy. In fact, it has to be hard. It has to be hard for us to remember.
To remember those warm embraces, to remember the feeling of their lips on yours, and to remember the smile on their face when you said something funny. But why are we so afraid of loss after all? We are so blessed to have experienced it to begin with. It means there was a presence of care. That ache in our heart and the deep pit in our stomach means there was something there to fill those vacant voids.
The empty spaces were just simply whole. We're all so afraid of change. Change in our love life or our families, change in our friendships and daily routines. One day we will remember that losing someone isn't about learning how to live without them, but to know their presence, and to carry what they left us behind.
For everything we've deeply loved, we cannot lose. They become a part of us. We adapt to the way they talk, we make them a part of our Instagram passwords, we remember when they told us to cook chicken for 20 minutes instead of We as humans are so lucky to meet so many people that will one day leave us.
We are so lucky to have the ability and courage to suffer, to grieve, and to wish for a better ending. For that only means, we were lucky enough to love. When Sony announced that Venom would be getting a stand-alone movie, outside of the Tom Holland MCU Spider-Man films, and intended to start its own separate shared universe of films, the reactions were generally not that kind. Even if Tom Hardy was going to take on the role, why would you take Venom, so intrinsically connected to Spider-Man's comic book roots, and remove all of that for cheap action spectacle?
Needless to say I wound up hopping on the "lets bash 'Venom'" train. While I appreciated how much fun Tom Hardy was having and the visual approach to the symbiotes, I couldn't get behind the film's tone or story, both of which felt like relics of a bygone era of comic book storytelling that sacrificed actual pathos for that aforementioned cheap spectacle.
But apparently that critical consensus was in the minority because audiences ate the film up. On top of that, Ruben Fleischer would step out of the director's chair in place of Andy Serkis, the visual effects legend behind characters like 'The Lord of the Rings' Gollum and 'Planet of the Apes' Caesar, and a pretty decent director in his own right.
Now with a year-long pandemic delay behind it, 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' is finally here, did it change my jaded little mind about the character's big-screen worth? Surprisingly, it kind of did.
I won't pretend that I loved it by any stretch, but while 'Let There Be Carnage' still features some of its predecessor's shortcomings, there's also a tightness, consistency and self-awareness that's more prevalent this time around; in other words, it's significantly more fun! A year after the events of the first film, Eddie Brock played by Tom Hardy is struggling with sharing a body with the alien symbiote, Venom also voiced by Hardy.
Things change when Eddie is contacted by Detective Pat Mulligan played by Stephen Graham , who says that the serial killer Cletus Kasady will talk only with Eddie regarding his string of murders. His interview with Kasady played by Woody Harrelson leads to Eddie uncovering the killer's victims and confirming Kasady's execution.
During their final meeting, Kasady bites Eddie, imprinting part of Venom onto Kasady. When Kasady is executed, the new symbiote awakens, merging with Kasady into a bloody, far more violent incarnation known as Carnage. It's up to Eddie and Venom to put aside their differences to stop Carnage's rampage, as well as Frances Barrison played by Naomi Harris , Kasady's longtime girlfriend whose sonic scream abilities pose a threat to both Venom and Carnage. So what made me completely switch gears this time around?
There's a couple reasons, but first and foremost is the pacing. Serkis and screenwriter Kelly Marcel know exactly where to take the story and how to frame both Eddie and Venom's journeys against the looming threat of Carnage. Even when the film is going for pure, outrageous humor, it never forgets the qualms between Eddie and Venom should be at the center beyond the obvious comic book-y exhibitions. If you were a fan of Eddie's anxious sense of loss, or the back-and-forth between he and the overly eccentric Venom, you are going to love this movie.
Hardy has a great grasp on what buttons to push for both, especially Venom, who has to spend a chunk of the movie contending with losing Eddie altogether and find their own unique purpose among other things, what is essentially Venom's "coming out" moment that actually finds some weight in all the jokes. Then there's Harrelson as Carnage and he absolutely delivers! Absolutely taking a few cues from Heath Ledger's Joker, Harrelson is leaning just enough into campy territory to be charismatic, but never letting us forget the absolutely shattered malicious mind controlling the spaghetti wrap of CGI.
Serkis' directing itself deserves some praise too. I can't necessarily pinpoint his style, but like his approach on 'Mowgli,' he has a great eye for detail in both character aesthetics and worldbuilding. That goes from the symbiotes' movements and action bits to bigger things like lighting in a church sequence or just making San Francisco feel more alive in the process.
As far as downsides go, what you see is basically what you get. While I was certainly on that train more here, I also couldn't help but hope for more on the emotional side of things. Yes, seeing the two be vulnerable with one another is important to their arcs and the comedy infusions work more often than not, but it also presents a double-edged sword of that quick runtime, sacrificing time for smaller moments for bigger, more outrageous ones.
In addition, while Hardy and Harrelson are electric together, I also found a lot of the supporting characters disappointing to a degree. Mulligan has a few neat moments, but not enough to go beyond the tough cop archetype. The only one who almost makes it work is Naomi Harris, who actually has great chemistry with Harrelson until the movie has to do something else with her.
It's those other characters that make the non-Venom, non-Carnage moments stall significantly and I wish there was more to them. I wouldn't go so far as to have complete faith in this approach to Sony's characters moving forward — Venom or whatever larger plans are in the works — but I could safely recommend this whatever side of the film spectrum you land on.
This kind of fun genre content is sorely needed and I'm happy I had as good of a time as I did. Brittany Morgan, National Writer's Society 2. Kristen Haddox , Penn State University 4. Welcome back.

You're likely to be sensitive or depressed. The good thing about this is you may pay good attention to detail and you are good at reading people. You may have good intuition too :P. Anonymous November 9th, pm. Little things bother me a lot sometimes as well. It could be possible that you may be suffering from anxiety, however, you should also look at the possibility that you could be a stuffer.
What I mean by this is, do you ever feel like your cup is overflowing with red juice and when you accidentally bump into something, the red juice overflows everywhere? This is only a visual, not a real example, of what can happen when we stuff our feelings instead of dealing with them. Try reflecting, becoming self-aware, and talking about your feelings.
Contact any listener here at 7 Cups of Tea for a chat. It will be very encouraging and maybe you can begin to slowly empty your cup. Does this make sense?
I hope so. Anonymous January 11th, pm. Sometimes, we pay very close attention to detail. When something becomes out of place or no longer functions they way we expect it to, it can bother us quite a bit. Anonymous March 9th, pm. You may have obsesive compulsive dissorder, or simply a different personality. Little things always bother me and people find me difficult, but those things don't matter to other people.
The key here is to be calm and rational about it, before making a scene about it. It's about control. Sometimes high levels of stress or anxiety can heighten the senses and I believe it's a form of hypersensitivity.
Certain actions or noises cam become more irritating or stand out more, intensifying the frustration. Usually it's caused by a high level of tension. Anonymous April 8th, am. It's ok, everyone is different! If it something that bother's you, it bothers you, and thats ok. It could be anxiety. Anxiety makes the world bigger than in seems but you can control that. Sometimes, it's the little things that count.
Focusing on those things means that you are detail oriented and perhaps a little bit of a perfectionist. Don't worry, though, it's all a matter of perspective; everyone has small things that bother them and it might just not show all the time. Anonymous April 16th, pm.
