Personally, I don't like to hear words like: always, never, then, right, now I can't, won't succeed. Such words usually annoy me because they have a pessimistic overtone, as if we assume in advance that we will fail, we will fail. Usually I try to think positively, even in difficult situations, and such words make me doubt my abilities. How is it with you? What words do your loved ones abuse?

I hate to hear, "Don't take this wrong, but..." or "I'm not trying to be critical, but..."

I would say, it's mostly the same. My husband often underestamates my ability to do things because I'm disabled. As do most people, but I've proven him wrong.

@Gguusia Yep. Learning to love yourself, first is important. How you feel about yourself, pretty much shows how others will about you. In your case I'm sure your 'family and friends' It appears to be jealousy and nothing more.

Congratulations on the fact that it succeeded :) Bravo :) Even though I do not have a disability, I have heard that I am sucked, that I will not be able to handle it. And sometimes I do better than with the person who said it. It is important to believe in yourself and not give up.

And the worst thing is that this person probably won't pay you back;)

Pessimistic Overtone.
Well if my glass is half full I don't let other people annoy me anyway.
And my.glass is usually half full even when it's not
Loved ones, that would be my wife.
She is a positive person.

Congratulations on such an attitude :) I had time that I forgot about my optimism, just because I still heard it would not work, it is not possible etc. Now I know that I doubted myself at that moment, but I have already returned and everything has everything again brighter colors :)

If we don't have optimism about anything
What point is there in life itself?

I do not like "Can you hear me?" being yelled since the person who yells those words thinks that I am fooling around working on my computer doing survey work.

I don't like it when people I love say "Who are you? You don't have the right to control me". this breaks my heart to this day. the wound is still felt in my heart and hard to forget. even though I want the best for him so that he keeps his heart for me alone. but apparently not, love has been one sided

My little ones, fortunately, do not repeat this word, but as soon as they hear such typical expressions of adults in my native language, they also walk and speak them, although I do not like it.
