thanks for the article james.. its so funny.. and i quite agree,,,, there is no reason .. but sometimes some people i have to meet daily just annoy me so much.. and i spend hours rationalizing my dislike... hating my irritability at the same time...actually it can happen with over familiarity too... and its hard to escape when you share a room with someone... thats why i spend hours outside like in the lib or elsewhere when theres no class .. cos otherwise over presence of my roommates kills me... and would kill them too if i didnt go anywhere... intersetingly can you read peacefully if someone is sitting quite close to you in the library.. i just freak out if someone sits close to me.. i just cant read ..although the other person might be lost in their work... well its evident a single room is my dream right now......

Bravo for finding the Dr. Fell citation, Ash. And the article is interesting, all the references to irrational irritability are literary. Interesting that we not only behave in this way, but explore those behaviors in our fiction throughout the ages.

types that center on personalities and which ones they approve or
disapprove to be rather fickle and out of touch, much of the time out to
reinforce biases. But then again I seem to have 'sucker' or 'easy mark'
printed on my forehead or something, so of course I would think that.
And no, that isn't meant for any members present! Just referring to
narcissistic usury, most types of violence fit the subject of disgust IMO.
Don I think that the repulsion to certain individuals is defensive, and
it is important to learn what our buttons or triggers are. From my own
inspection I think identifying the predator sooner is a valuable trait
to avoid dangers for oneself and family, almost any other annoyance can
be handled with a stern smile and a 'have a nice day'. It is harder in
large groups, too many variables. That seems a simple non-specific way
of placing the anxiety anyway.
There is a lively and humorous examination on this subject in free
e-book format, a casual read (link below, pg.417). I was laughing a bit
while reading because of people I've known.

My past teachers would undoubtedly cringe at that MLA format. :)
