What small things tend to push you over the edge, even though others might not understand why?

the sound of someone snoring, or lip smacking when eating
People that cannot maneuver their cars at gas stations.

When people can’t read obvious social cues/situations. My cousin‘s wife is oblivious to the fact that every time she tries to corner me to endlessly yip yap, I have to go to the bathroom. It’s been 25 years.
When communication doesn’t work. Like if:
– They don’t reply based on what I asked
– They claim I’m lying when I don’t
My brain can’t handle it. It melts. It’s in agony. I’m in immense discomfort and pain so strong it feels like I’m raging harder than any other person on earth. It’s not actual anger though, that’s just my instinctual interpretation of extremely strong discomfort
The other person, however, think they’re just talking to me and either don’t understand why I’m making those strange faces before I swiftly just walk away, or they don’t understand why I’m suddenly very angry and having a hard time not screaming at them
talking over me and/or not letting me speak, it’s years and years of build up frustration of not having a voice as the youngest in my family

Loud noises and yelling trigger me.
Watered down soap products (hand soap, shampoo, body wash). NO. NO! It makes my skin crawl, I ALWAYS have a back up, there is never a reason…..ew. lol
You ask me a question, I answer, then you go to someone else to fact check. B%#$@ don’t ask me in the first place!
When they have a loud laugh. I tend to overstimulate pretty easily
Everything. Anything. The other day I had just finished making myself a delicious cup of coffee (sugar, cream, all the sticky stuff), and then as I picked it up, I spilled the whole thing all over the kitchen counter, down the cabinets, all over the floor and myself – if I had been at work I would have said “fuck” and swiftly started cleaning up. But since I was alone in my home I was allowed to BE IN MY FEELINGS. And at that moment, my feelings were red hot rage and frustration. So I screamed. Loud. Let all my feelings out. “WHY IS EVERYTHING SO FUCKING SHITTY RIGHT NOW?!?” Just absolutely screaming my rage out in my coffee stained kitchen. Then when I was done being in the feeling, I cleaned up while singing a song I made up for just this kind of situation.
Out in public I’m well mannered, but at home I am an absolute drama queen when it comes to my own feelings. So the other day coffee pushed me over the edge 🤡
