Hi ,
We recently put out this meme on Facebook, "Your triggers are your responsibility. It isn't the world's obligation to tiptoe around you." A meme can say only so much, then each one's perspective enables them to understand, respond or react accordingly.
But it's equally important to understand what was sent out, our life experiences mould us into seeing the world a certain way. Childhood trauma, abuse, narcissist encounters, gaslighting, there are so many negative experiences that shift the way we see things.
Then there are people who have had the required amount of love and support that have helped them blossom. They will have a completely different outlook on how life is and how they see the same situation.
Whenever we get emotionally triggered, someone pulls that trigger. But the fact is we are the ones carrying the ammunition inside us.
No matter your upbringing, we all have triggers that affect us, and there are going to be people who we know and those who we don't, that will trigger us at some point of time. We have to know where to draw our boundaries, we have to know when to let go of people who repeatedly push our buttons and most importantly we need to know how to manage our triggers.
People will be mean, people will scream, people will do things you do not like, but it's up to you to ensure your own sanity. You can expect people who care for you to tiptoe, but the world won't.
