Wish explores the concept of trauma, its definitions, and the implications of its overuse in modern society. There is an emphasis on the importance of distinguishing between genuine trauma and everyday life challenges, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of emotional experiences. This discussion highlights the need for sensitivity towards those who have experienced real trauma while also addressing the societal tendency to label minor inconveniences as traumatic. This conversation ultimately calls for a reevaluation of language and its impact on the internalised message of what is considered the norm today, which Wish finds somewhat disillusioning.

"If I were to choose a strange pet peeve, it would be people who over-explain things." - Mike.

Welcome to Human Thesaurus Special, EPITOME ANATOMY.

In this episode, our keyword is PET PEEVES, a noun. According to vocabulary.com, a peeve is an annoyance, and a pet peeve is an annoyance that's nurtured like a pet — it's something someone can never resist complaining about.

On this enlightening episode, we're joined by our returning guest, the hilarious Filipino comedian and writer Mike Unson, and one of my closest friends, digital content expert Jo Mendoza. Together, we navigate the fascinating world of pet peeves. Listen in as we delve into our personal peeves and discuss how they can affect our lives and interactions with others. From Mike's annoyance with bad driving to Jo's enlightening reflection on how pet peeves can reflect our personal standards and expectations, we shed light on the peculiarities that irk us.

We also tackle the challenging task of managing our annoyances, especially when faced with strangers. We share hilarious stories and discuss various coping mechanisms like practising patience, adopting a sense of humour, and embracing self-forgiveness. Tune in to hear Mike's amusing anecdote about a parking lot encounter and Jo's practical advice on self-regulation and detachment from triggers.

P.S.: Rest In Peace, Willie Nepomuceno. Thank you for giving my dream a chance once before.

There's that level of, yeah, you can be familiar with your friends more than your siblings. But there's that thing I can't point to it. There's just that thing of knowing a familiarity that's unique to siblings." - JC.
