Well, several types of people annoy me.

The "gloom and doom" type. - Always negative about everything.  Sucks the joy right out of every situation.

The "It's all about me" type - Sometimes people need to just go with the group.  These people go with the group deciison, but then whine about it the whole time.  ("I told you this movie would be lame.  We should have gone to the one I wanted to see.", "That other restaurant is so much better.")

The "I only know one thing" type. - People who talk ad nauseum about something no one else is interested in.  I know one lady that talks about nothing but food.  

The "I can't take a joke" type. - Every one else can laugh and tease each other, but this person gets mad at the slightest thing.

The "Money is everything" type. - Tells everyone how much they paid for everything.  Sometimes has the audacity to ask others how much they paid for everything.

The "loud mouth" type - Laughs and talks way too loud in the wrong situations.

The "judgemental/prejudice" type - Seems to think it's okay to say bad things about people or even use racial slurs as long as you whisper.

So, do you fit any of these categories?  If you do, you might consider toning it down.  Are you sure you annoy people or is it just in your imagination?  

Good luck.  It's hard to change bad habits.  Good for you for trying!!

I find it interesting that you ask this because most annoying people don't seem to know or care that they are annoying to others.

Well normally I would say just be yourself and don't care what others think, I also believe there is something to be said about creating an impression or proper social etiquette.

1. Try not to come across as self centered - This is huge. People don't like if you look like you are trying to be the center of attention, manipulate a conversation so its always about you, or come off as arrogant.

2. You may have to take it down a notch. When someone is classified as annoying, its usually because they do something that grates on people because it's done all the time. (ie talking behind people's backs, complaining all the time etc)

My advice is if you have someone that you can trust to be honest, just flat out ask them what it is you do that annoys people and make sure you are not defensive about it when they tell you. Don't try and argue it or justify it, just take some time to think about it. If nobody will be honest with you, be very observant in your interactions with people and you'll probably discover what it is pretty fast. People that are good observers are usually well liked because they figure out how to use what people like and avoid what people don't like.

Answer 7

i think there are a lot of different annoying people.

i'm told that i'm annoying cause i'm pessimistic so i always find a negative in things.

people that annoy me are people that:

ask questions to things that have obvious answers

someone is watching tv on their own and asks me what the show is about or something similar to that

they ask the same questions over and over again

they stare

they brag about being better than other people

people that don't follow the rules, or just do whatever they want regardless of what other people say

when people over react to small things that can be fixed easily

Answer 8

Just stop talking.  It seems it is what you are saying that is annoying people so don't say anything.  It will be hard to resist at first but there is nothing wrong than sitting back and letting others do the talking.  

If someone asks you a direct question, then answer them kindly but leave it at that.  Remember, people are only interested in themselves anyway.

Give being quiet some time and take this time to watch others and what they say and do.  You'll have plenty of time to watch as the spotlight will no longer be on you if you are quiet.

You'll ease back into the conversations when you stop feeling like you are annoying and feel you really have something positive to contribute.

Answer 9

Maybe it's your personality...?

I'm being dead serious.  Why else would they think that when you completely change your personality?  Oh, and be yourself.

Answer 10

Different people are annoyed by different things. If people tell me that I am annoying, I would them what it is that is so annoying. I can't change what I don't know.

Hope this helps.
