I guess it will do for a while.
 
In Jungian psychology, inappropriately strong reactions to relatively 
innocuous stimuli are typically regarded as being due to the Shadow 
archetype (you can read about that on my website dreams page if you want 
more info). Basically, the Shadow represents those sides of yourself 
that you do not like. Sometimes you like them so little that you don't 
even notice that they are a part of you. Nevertheless, whenever you see 
those aspects of yourself in the outside world, you get that strong 
negative feeling: it has a specific emotional tone that you can learn to 
recognize very quickly (indeed it seems you are doing so). The cure is 
to recognise those features of yourself in yourself. What you do about 
them is up to you, but awareness itself is the key.
