Why do little things seem to bother me more than they bother other people?

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

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.

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.

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.

Everyone is wired differently with varying emotional responses to things. If you could read another person's mind you might find there are some things which don't bother you at all, yet greatly affect them! So it's no reason to compare yourself negatively to others. We are all unique with our own strengths and weaknesses.

I think it's important to remember that little things actually bother other people too. The difference may be that you remember and think about these little things more then other people do? You might make assumptions or have ideas about those little things that cause you anxiety? Your mind may play with little moments more then most? There is nothing wrong with you in doing any of this. Many people do this and you wouldn't know it. I think if I was bothered about my thinking doing this, I would try to notice when my thinking starts to grab onto small things and distract my mind from reacting in a way that caused me stress. For me, that would be to stay in the moment and be gentle with myself, and be my own friend through it to help myself breathe slowly and let it go.

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.
