Top 10 Things that Cause People to Overreact the Most

The Top Ten
1 Swear Words

I don't swear, but my God, people overreact to them so much. It is just stupid.

Let's not forget people who overreact when you censor swear words.

2 Different Opinions

Everyone should respect others' opinions.

Oh my gosh, they are just opinions. Ok, I have done this a few times, but I have stopped for the most part.

3 Fake News
4 Being Told to Calm Down

The fact that people get more emotional when they're told to calm down, I wonder if saying the opposite like "be angrier" would actually make them calmer.

I am guilty of this sometimes, and I try not to overreact, but I just can't. Sorry, I have anger issues.

Nobody should be told to calm down. No one likes it, and it doesn't help the situation.

5 Criticism

There's a difference between bullying and criticism.

6 Failure

No one likes when they get 99% and not 100%.

7 Edgy Jokes

From my understanding as of now, edgy jokes are funny because they are offensive, as in, I mean that they're funny because you 'shouldn't' say them. Is it funny if you say something good like 'I ate my green beans' and not 'I ate my baby'? No.

I don't get the whole point of "edgy jokes." I mean, how is it funny? Is it amusing because of the people who like "edgy jokes," and their mindset is more amusing, or just the offensive jokes themselves? And thanks - Kevinsidis.

Edgy jokes are the best, and edgy memes are one of the few things that can make me laugh.

8 Movies

It's just a silly little kids' film. It doesn't deserve to be treated like crap and to be unfairly compared to Inside Out and Wreck-It Ralph.

It may not have good animation, but I love Mr. Clipboard. An underrated classic. Critics, why so serious?

This one is just a matter of fans who only stick to the old movies and refuse to grow up.

9 Retaliation

Some of my teachers have done this, and many other people can relate to this.

When I do this, everyone gets mad like, what the heck!

10 Revenge
The Contenders
11 Video Games

Just watch some of these YouTubers' reactions, and you know it's not genuine, only acting scared to get them views.

12 Spiders

I can understand this if you live in Peru. But where I live, spiders are harmless.

If it weren't for them, we might not have been alive!

13 Homosexuality

It's not that big a deal. If you're gay, that's cool. I won't react overly positive or negative because there's not much that's special or abnormal about it, which is how it should be treated: a totally normal thing seen in a small percentage of people.

If you're straight, cool. If you're gay, cool. If you're bi, pan, or anything else, cool.

14 Net Neutrality
15 Sports

Sports/Sporting is delaying our advancements as a species, Sports never ever deserved to be worth multiple billions, only a selective few Spots deserved multiple billions, many founders of religion would approve & disapprove Sports, watching/playing to/too much Sports shortens/shortening your overall lifespan/longevity. Sports brings unwelcomed spirits to your household, many of those spirits aren't worth losing your sanity, human insanity is the universal currency/currencies of Sports, Sports isn't for everyone collectively, Sports isn't more important than the Son of God The Son of Man

16 Cartoons

Seriously, people, this is far from the worst cartoon ever made.

17 Bisexuality
18 Pluto

It's an object in space. Deal with it, don't fight over it if you don't even live on it.

19 Weed
20 Politicians
21 Amusement Park Rides
22 Breakups
23 Drinks

My sister's friend is literally addicted to this beverage. Drinks 3 gallons in ONE day.

Why do people overreact about Sprite?
