What irritates you in others can reveal what already has your attention within yourself.

Strong irritation is a signal worth reading. What annoys you disproportionately usually connects to something unresolved in yourself, either a trait you share or one you have worked hard to suppress. The intensity is the giveaway rather than the content.

The next time something someone does bothers you more than it should, ask what it touches. Not to excuse them, but because the answer is more useful to you than the irritation is.
