Joey Massio, a former middle school teacher turned teen coach, discusses how to deal with annoying people. He categorizes annoying behavior into three reasons: people don't know how, don't want to, or aren't able to stop being annoying. Joey suggests that communication and setting boundaries can help with those who don't know how. For those who don't want to change, it's best to change how you view them to reduce annoyance. When someone is not able to stop being annoying due to their personality or habits, Joey advises reframing your thoughts about them to lessen the impact of their behavior. Ultimately, he emphasizes that controlling your response to annoying people can improve relationships without needing them to change.
