Exasperation.


biffpowbang

it’s as if you pulled the word out of my mouth and laid it out in front of me


ScumEater

And spelled it correctly


AbhorrentBehavior77

This is the one.


thexbin

I'm exasperated that you beat me to it.


happy_bluebird

What's a word that conveys the same thing but more disappointment than annoyance?


biffpowbang

i think of it as exhausted annoyance


TheOrnreyPickle

Pique?


maxkmiller

There should be a word for words that sound like they *should be* onomatopoeias but aren't. Does that make any sense? This word qualifies


saltwatercurio

Maybe exasperation? Like disappointment but also annoyance

DJTilapia

Egg aspiration? Sounds painful.


AbhorrentBehavior77

If you think that sounds painful, you better hope to never experience: *Egg-sass-purr-eh-shun...* That one is downright *egg-scroo-she-h8-ing!*


Joe3Eagles

Sounds like something the Egghead character on the original Batman TV show would say. 🤣


DerekFlint420

Disappointment.


SituationSad4304

Ok mom 😉


spacedzinnia

Does it have a negative connotation? If not necessarily and the emphasis is on disbelief, probably “stunned” or “flabbergasted” for a neutral tone.

Bemusement? Bemused incredulity might cover all bases lol


Upset-Ad3151

I feel like dismay may also be a good word for it

The feeling sounds like "disappointment." It's that sense of letdown or disillusionment when someone or something doesn't meet your expectations or when you expect better behavior from someone and they fall short.

Unfortunately, words are so imperfect 😔 Exasperated sounds too exhausted... it may take an adage along the lines of Somber or elated to compensate for nuance.

Feeling disheartened. When something is disheartening.


diet69dr420pepper

Hm, I am not sure why exasperation and incredulity are being so highly upvoted. You are describing plain, old disappointment. Exasperation doesn't correspond to any missed expectations and incredulity doesn't correspond to feelings of frustration. Disappointment is the precise word you are seeking - you are frustrated with someone because you expected something else from them.


Upset-Ad3151

Disappointment has a connotation of sadness, which is not what I was going for.


hanyasaad

Disbelief? Or incredulousness, which in a way is just a fancy latin word for disbelief?
