1. For some reason people avoid confrontation as if it's a bad thing when in reality confronting our issues usually works out best.

20. When you go to the library to study for an exam and your friend asks to come and you tell them you need to focus and they come and talk anyway so you have to be kind of rude so they stop and then they get frustrated even though you said you had to focus from the beginning.
1. Friends wanting to be friends but also not understanding that school requires focus. 
• At first I struggled to think of things that bother me because I typically think of myself as a relaxed go-with-the-flow type person but once I started talking about it out loud I realized there's a lot of general courtesy things I expect from others and am upset about when they don't deliver. Once I realized this the list started to flow easier because it kind of snowballed.
