I’ve grown up around a lot of stress addicts. They like it, they won’t stop it.
“What’s that smell?”
“What’s squeaking/clicking?”
“I can’t figure out what that noise is.”
Absolutely relentless.
Now, you could take it as an insult that when people come into your home and ask such questions.
It’s not you. Really. They are addicted to NOT resolving things. They won’t drop the issue. When you realise that people are addicted to the drama, it gives you the opportunity to be more direct.
People may call it harsh. I call it guarding your peace of mind.
