If someone always says something that somebody does, doesn't bother them, yet they are constantly pointing it out to anyone who will listen, when that person does that particular thing, are they being truthful? Or are they overcompensating, by pointing out to others "hey look, this person is doing that again, but I am cool with it"?
It doesn't make much sense to me. I would think "who are they trying to convince, others, or themselves?"
I was wondering what you guys think.....

Well, if they keep noticing this particular thing, AND make it their mission to point it out - obviously, it DOES bug them in some way!

Sounds like "that person doth protest too much" (to paraphrase Shakespeare, pardon me for butchering it!) ..... Anyhoo, sounds like if this person is always bringing it up just to say that X doesn't bother them, that in reality X probably really does bother that person a lot!

Your instincts are right!

They obviously are insecure and uncomfortable about something with the situation. And it's apparently something about worrying what other people think about them and how they are being judged based on wether "it" (what the heck is it?) should or shouldn't , is or isn't, does or doesn't bother them.

A convoluted answer for a convoluted question...

Simple question. This person lacks proper up bring. How extremely rude. Is this person perfect, doubt it. It is probably a very insecure person wanting attention, this is neg. attention.

Sounds like they don't have the guts to tell the person what they feel is wrong. Hence, they tell everyone else because it is non confrontational.

Sounds like the reverse of what they're actually feeling.

Sure it bothers them, if it didn't they wouldn't bother to even mention it.
