Feeling irritated when hearing your parents speak is actually a very common psychological response. It’s often not because you have a bad temper, but rather because long-term emotional associations have formed through your interactions. For example, being criticized, controlled, or misunderstood since childhood can cause the brain to link "their voices" with stress and discomfort. When you hear them, it automatically triggers feelings of irritation or even anger. This is more like a conditioned reflex and emotional buildup; in some cases, it may resemble trauma triggers, similar to post-traumatic stress disorder reactions. However, this does not necessarily mean there is a serious psychological problem, nor does it justify the simple conclusion that "you should stay away." The more important thing is to understand your triggers, distinguish whether it’s due to relationship suppression, boundary violations, or past experiences, and then choose to distance yourself, establish boundaries, or adjust your way of interacting accordingly. It’s not about forcing yourself to endure or simply avoiding the issue.
