4. If I am happy or excited about something my voice level seems to get louder. I do not notice I do this but others do, and have pointed it out to me. My voice level can be annoying to others. To change this I try to be mindful of how loud I am when I am talking. When talking with my friends about TV shows we watch and have discussions on, when the conversation get good I have to remind myself to lower my voice. 5. Ignoring people when I am irritated and annoyed is another habit I suffer from. When someone keeps asking me the same thing multiple times, or keep bothering me when they can see I am doing something else I will just ignore them. I should probably tell them in a nice way I am not listening or to talk to me when I am done doing what I am doing instead of ignoring them. This effects other people because they do not know that I am annoyed and do not want to be bothered. To change this habit when I am focused on something I and someone tried to talk to me I just tell them I am focused and I will talk to them when I am done. When studying or doing homework in my room many times my roommate will want to talk to me, but I do not want to talk. When she does this I just politely tell her I am trying to study give her a rough time I will be able to talk, instead of me ignoring her and she not know why.
