Sometimes You Just Need to Drop It
Summary
- When a friend does something small that irritates you, consider letting it go; not everything needs to be discussed or processed.
- Understand that sometimes a friend's annoying behavior may be due to a bad moment or bad timing rather than intentional rudeness.
- Accept that nobody's perfect and avoid dwelling on minor issues, especially when you're busy.
- It's often useful to return to a problem later; with time, you may find that it's not important enough to worry about.
- Recognize when both you and your friend may be affected by temporary factors like tiredness or hunger, and be willing to move past it.
- A key to maintaining good relationships is the ability to let go of small grievances instead of holding onto them.

How To Take Action
I would suggest letting small irritations with friends slide. If a friend does something little that bugs you, it might not be worth bringing up. Remember, they might just be having a tough moment.
A good way of doing this is by understanding that nobody is perfect, including you. When you're super busy, it's even more important not to get stuck on tiny problems.
If you're feeling annoyed, I'd recommend waiting a bit before deciding if it's a big deal or not. Often, you'll find that it doesn't matter after some time has passed.
It's helpful to think about why you or your friend might be acting a certain way. Sometimes, you’re just tired or hungry. I’d say to try and see past these moments.
One of the most valuable skills in friendships is the ability to let go of the small stuff. Holding on to every little grievance isn't good for anyone. So, next time you feel bothered by something minor, ask yourself if it's really worth the worry. If it's not, just breathe and let it go.
