[It's a rhetorical and dismissive question he doesn't want an answer to. Pietro keeps his eyes on the television, but he's not watching it. Once she moves on to a difference spot for a change, the tension in muscles lessens and random twitches subside for the time being. After a moment, he elaborates on things, looking for the right words to explain without potentially making Wanda feel like she's done something that really bothered him as much as he's let on. It isn't torture, but it could be, so easily, and maybe she should know that.]

I don't want you to think I'm annoyed with you all the time. It's not you, it's me.
[The last part is lifted from Friends or Cheers most likely, he can't remember which, but it's fitting.]
