what do you make of someone who isn’t good at letting “little things” slip by.

I mean if something is bothering them they have to either complain or confront, even if it is a small issue. How can you help this person to not sweat the small stuff?

It’s anxiety. When they get anxious, they focus on that feeling of discomfort and they look for all the reasons they are feeling anxious… this causes them to make a big long list of anything that could be considered an irritant.

If they were happy, they would shrug off all those little things. It’s the underlying anxiety that is causing them to filter life and get annoyed by all the small stuff.

The key for them is to focus on lots of deep long breathing and focusing on gratitude. Whenever they feel anxious, thank somebody for something no matter how small. This means focusing on all the small stuff…. that is in any way the least bit good and expressing thanks to people for it. Thanks for holding the door. Thanks for making breakfast. Thanks for taking out the garbage. Thanks for picking that up. Thanks for that hug. Thanks for mentioning that. THanks for reminding me.

This way they are forced into a positive filter where all the little things perk them up.
