I've heard this, or something similar, a time or two


over my 71 years.

Here's what worked for me. Don’t argue with


them. It doesn't do any good.

Agree with them.

“You’re annoying.”

“I’m sure you think I am.”

Then walk away.

“That’s too bad you feel that way. Lots of people


enjoy my company.”

“Really? And I wasn’t even trying too hard!”

“My mother taught me to keep my opinions to


myself.”

“I didn’t ask your opinion”

“Since we are sharing opinions, I find you rude.”

Well, are you annoying?

This isn’t an insult. I hang out with a few


improvisers who also do stand up comedy. They
pride themselves on their ability to be extremely
annoying. When I say this to one of them, and I do
say it if only as an observation, they thank me
nicely.

I, on the other hand, prefer not to annoy people.


So if someone thought I was annoying, I’d want to
know why.

Now, there was a time when someone said I was


annoying because I spoke up for myself and
didn’t defer to people (including him) who
thought I shouldn’t. In that

If you can pull it off, I'd try and act like it's the
greatest compliment in the world. If you don't get
upset, they'll get angry that their attempts to put
you down, aren't showing results. Otherwise I'd
just ignore them. I mean hard core ignore as in
they don't exist; you can't hear them, you can't
see them.

I said that once to my friend. This is what she did.


Then I will become more annoying to you. Trust
me. She actually do that. I decided to never say
stuff like that anymore. You can respond to them
by saying, yeah I kinda know I am annoying. That
will shut them up. Or you can be a little sarcasm.
The world has turn less brighter for someone, it
seems. Other than that, you can be extra
annoying like my friend. True friend will
understand. Not true friend will leave you instead.

Ask what is annoying about you.

Or alternatively punch them in the ribcage and


call them a cunt.

Or…

Take it out on the nearest wall.

All very good options.

If I were you, and it was unintentional, I would say,


“Oh , I didn’t know that. can you please tell me
what I am doing that is making me annoying?”

That way you can learn and other people will not
say that to you in the future.

Retaliating with a smart remark will get you


nothing and not improve your personality because
they you will be both annoying AND a smart ass.

I'd probably say something like:

“Funny, I was just thinking the same about you.”

Or

“Did you know you squeak when you walk?” (A


reference to them being anal retentive.)

Or, I might giggle and walk away while letting


them see me chortle.

Anyone who would say “you're annoying” is not


worth much of my energy. I would most likely
avoid circumstances where I have to interact with
them.

I would tell them to leave then. You don’t have to


be around someone you don’t like. So if they think
you're annoying then that's their loss and they
can leave.
