something I don't like about myself

It gets on my nerves that I am like this, but I wish I knew how to fix it and WHY I am like this.  But when someone constantly laughs and giggles all day at work,  it really irks me,  but I don't know why.

I think I'd find it annoying also. If it lasted a long time. Can you wear
earphones and listen to music, or have a radio on. Low to listen to
talk radio to distract you?

Ask them why? If it’s something worth laughing at, maybe she could let you join in on the fun? If it’s not and it’s distracting, talk to your supervisor about it.

Maybe you suffer from narcissistic personality disorder and think everyone should be as miserable as you. Try watching some funny YouTube videos before work and on breaks, maybe you will have something to laugh at too.

Some people laugh to hide whatever is going on inside of them. I am one of those people, and I laugh A LOT. Sometimes the best defense to bitterness, is a bit of understanding.

You're allowed to have things that bug you. Everyone has things that they find annoying. If this is something that you would like to work on or change, it might be a good topic for therapy.
