I extremely annoyed by anything that seems obsessive

So I get extremely annoyed by obsessions of other people and sometimes animals. I will give a couple examples. So my adopted mom is a Trump fan. She is what I called "obsessed" with him. She idalizes him (she denied and got really offended when I said he idalizes him) When he is on the TV she will cancel or hold off anything to watch him. She blasts the TV super loud and then gets upset if people try to talk to her or around her. She has never done this with any other president. Then she tries to talk to me about all the good he has done and I completely shut her off and get a flight feeling. Because of how much time she devotes to him. I can not stand Trump solely based off of her being obsessed. Another example is if someone has a favorite song and they are constantly playing it. The more it comes off as obsessive the more I hate the song. Even if it was a song I previously enjoyed. And the issue will last years with the song that I witnessed someone obsessing over. And artists like I can't stand lady gaga and can't even give her a chance because the way people obsessed when she first came out. Another example is clothes if I see someone constantly wearing the same article of clothes over and over. It truly gets under my skin. The clothes isn't as bad as the other things. I can let go of it and not feel so much negativity over it. Then repetitive sounds also come off as obsessive and totally hit my fight or flight mode bad! Like a dog licking or itching themselves for more then just 30 seconds. I actually have taught my dog the term leave it when he scratches or chews on his skin for a excess amount of time. Because I feel like I could snap if it continues. Or constant repetitive banging or kicking. My kids do that and I get super full of anxiety and feel like exploding every time.

    I think it's normal. Obsessive behavior gets old really fast, and can even be scary depending on what the person is obsessed with and how far they go with it.

    I also think it is super annoying when people obsess over celebrities and "influencers"/YouTube personalities, etc., especially when they do it to the point of defending abhorrent behavior. Take Onision fans, for example (though sadly, I think a lot of those are teenage girls with poor upbringings or who are just naive, who maybe even are being groomed by him or men like him). Or pretty much any other famous person who does something undeniably wrong, yet their fans defend and make excuses for the behavior no matter what.

    One obsession that's relatively harmless, but that I've never really understood, are fads. I've always liked what I like, regardless of whether or not it was currently in style, and that's that. It seems some people need to be told what to like and are obsessed over worrying about what others might think of them if they don't have the latest and so-called "greatest" of everything. The latest flavor of the month of car, phone, random overpriced brand name stuff that isn't even that great of quality for the price, overpriced coffee like Starbucks (like seriously, what is with the trend of people taking pictures of them holding their Starbucks cup in front of whatever they're trying to take a picture of, which never has anything to do with Starbucks or coffee in general? Nobody does it with McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, Sonic, etc. cups, lol). That's actually a good one right there, the obsession over Starbucks of all things. It's not just a drink anymore, it's like a culture and a status symbol, and why? Honestly, do most people really care whether or not these people drink Starbucks?

    Je suis comme toi.
    Rien que d'y penser ça m'énerve.
    Pour les animaux il faut régler le problème: il se gratte parcequ'il est peut-être béni ou peut-être qu'il a des puces ou peut-être qu'il est sale ou peut-être qu'il s'ennuie ou qu'il insiste.
    Pour les enfants c'est pareil il faut essayer de voir si ils ont un problème ou si ils s'amusent. Et leur proposant autre a choisi plutôt que de dire "arrête"
