Poking the Bear

   It would seem that no one I know is 100% certain how to treat someone who is annoyed. Almost every time I start to get annoyed my friends start annoying me further without even realising what they are doing. Like most problems you must first recognize what the problem is asking for and then solve it. The only problem is there is no equation on how to calm someone down, until now.
   A change in tone is a key indicator  of annoyance, but sometimes people can change their tone without realising, so this one is not always accurate. Another indication is if they start dropping items harder, or slaming doors, but again this can also be an accident. If a person is clenching their hands, or toes they are probably either annoyed or in pain. You should probably ask them what's wrong. When I start to get angry I twitch more. Usually I twirl a pen faster than usual or play around with my hair. That's right I play with my hair when I'm stressed or annoyed, not when I want to flirt.
   Try to detect what may be bugging your buddy before you confront them. Go through the day, did you say something that wasn't that nice? Don't go overboard here, if something doesn't come to you immediatly then it probably wasn't you. If you think your friend is annoyed at you just ask once. They will start being annoyed at you eventually if you keep asking. Try to make a sincere apology if they are annoyed, because of you. Think about what your life would be like without that friend, it may give you some insentive to apoligize.
   Sometimes your friends are just stressed out and it has nothing to do with you. Ask them once if they want to talk about it. If they say yes, listen attentivly, and try to keep eye contact no matter how boring it is, but if they say no tell them your still there to talk to if they want to later. As a nice gesture try making them something. A card with a couple of flowers drawn on and a quick message takes very little time, but can mean a lot.
     Be considerate of your friends, and don't bug them when they are annoyed. When I'm snappy I just want to be left alone, sometimes people talking to me can make me even more annoyed. If you can't talk to your friend, make them something to show that you care. They can't stay mad forever if your a great friend.

Doctor Who Quote

I don’t know if questioning if someone can act stupid is a compliment or an insult.

The Doctor: An unintelligent enemy is far less dangerous than an intelligent one, Jamie. Just act stupid. Do you think you can manage that?
