Hm, kay. Not sure what tags to use here, but I did so anyway.

There aren't any set rules for which tags to use beyond using the ones that make the most sense. This is simply so that people can find old posts easily.

Thank you.

When people are just... aggressive. For no reason other than to drive other people up the wall. I just don't understand why being abrasive would help you at all, or make you look less douchey to anyone else.

I agree heartily.

They get bonus negative points if someone calls them on their asshattery and they then proceed to attack the person who called them out.

People who are convinced that *their* "should" (morals, ethics, traditions, mores, etc.) are required to be universal, particularly when those things are not based on anything rational, but simply their own feelings.

This becomes infinitely worse when combined with extroversion.

Goodness, yes. I argue with my dad constantly because he does exactly what you just described. He seems to think his subjective self-observations are just as good as scientific facts.

I go way out of my way to keep strong ESFJ's out of my life for this reason.

I've noticed the pattern that ESFJ's drive me batshit in general.

Lately it's been people who excessively question me about about every single damn statement I utter. I'm not talking about knowledge claims, but opinions or things about my personal life. Like I say I don't like football and they ask, "But why? Have you ever tried it? Are you sure?" Or I tell them I'm not close to my family. "You're not? Why not? I can't imagine not being close to my family."

It makes me want to go back to my hermit lifestyle!

GAHH yes. It's as if they think we don't know what we're saying. If I wasn't certain about what I was saying, I would say so.

That's one of the reasons I avoid the human race as much as I feasibly can. It's irksome in the extreme when people assume that they must surely know me and my preferences better than I do.

Now I'm having unfond memories of a particular ex informing me basically that I did like to play sports, but that when I said I didn't I was just being narrow-minded. When in fact, I have never liked to play sports.

The family discussion is one I frantically avoid. People who are zealously convinced that the family is always the highest of all good things in the world frighten me.

Lately it's people who second-guess everything they (and by extension, I) decide on doing. It makes me want to bang my head against a wall and say "Stick -- With -- Your -- Damn -- Decision!" since people backpeddling drives me nuts.
