Lol I see what you did there.
Yeah, I should be clear that I'm not talking about serious PTSD triggers. I'm taking about stuff that 'sets me off'. Provokes me I guess. It annoys me but it also tends to make me feel compelled to object rather than just annoy me but be very easy to keep to myself.
(I guess another one of my triggers is when (as is often common) some 'alt-right' person who refers to a lot of the 'leftists' as 'cucks' or 'snowflakes' simply states "Triggered!" when a liberal objects to what they say. Saying 'triggered!' used as some sort of insult . . 'triggers me' sometimes But my intention is not to make this thread political hence why I put this in parentheses (Ugh and another one is referring to someone as an 'autist' (intended as an insult) or to speak of 'autistic screeching', which again usually comes from the political right. That's a new one that so far I have fortunately only seen on YouTube comments)).
