why might a 20 yearold have such a short temper for people around his age.?

Question

for some reasion i cant stand being around people between the ages of 14 and 25. i just want to strangle them. it seems like every thing out of their mouths bugs me. i have also never had a relation with a woman younger then 26 that has gone for 6 months. i tend to break up with thoes girls because after a month i want to start crashing their skulls (i have never hurt a woman in my life).

any ideas?

i assume this is not normal.

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong with that. But you have to really think why that bothers you only you can think about that. Thats a rough age range you are talking about so they can be moody and hormonal. If you don't like them then stay away from them be nice but don't have relationships because you know it won't work.

Answer 2

Hm. "Normal" -That can be a dangerous word! Perhaps your impatience is a lack of understanding, or it could be compassion or you could just be, immature? No matter the why of this problem, you're aware of it and by being so, that should make you examine young people a little closer and most certainly, cut them some slack for having less life experience than you...Were you ALWAYS mature as a young person? -Teenager? I wonder...ask someone who knows you well for a realistic, objective answer.

Being intolerant towards youth in general, if not impatient - doesn't indicate to me as a woman, that you have either perspective or understanding OR, ACCEPTANCE of those younger than yourself. In fact, I would entertain the thought of you fathering a child of mine, with such an attitude.

You may be as normal as blueberry pie as they say, but you do have a problem and you need to open your world, develop a bit more patience and kindness for those who've come after you that are "growing" too.

The best gesture you can display to them, is tolerance and kindness and a willingness to listen to them and not diss their behavior/feelings entirely.

I hope you think about this awhile and make a concerted effort to change your attitude, otherwise, you'll be known as the grump of the century, if not the hardass from hel*...and God only know what other myriad of names you'll be referred to as. I say that with a touch of humor, yes, but truly - this isn't a laughing matter for long in a person's life.

Do something about it...

Carl Jung would say they carry your shadow. If their mere presence induces such a strong reaction, then it's because of something you're suppressing inside - something you don't like about yourself. Of course, most people don't recognize their own shadows, hence the terminology (so you'll no doubt disagree with Jung).

But maybe you're trying too hard to be "mature" and a little too rigid in your perceptions. Maybe you never went through that immature phase, and never connected socially to your peers.

Answer 4

Sounds like they are too immature for your tastes. Try hanging out with older people. A lot of younger people these days are different than they used to be. Nobody seems to have a life. Find someone who has one, and avoid these people who irritate you!

Answer 5

it is normal. maybe people in your age bracket are less mature then u are, therefore they can say stupid immature stuff that bugs the **** out u.

Answer 6

definitely not normal. consult a psychitrist before too late

Answer 7

because you're more mature than they are, and find giggling at asinine things really annoying?
