“Your mental health and trauma isn’t your fault but it is your responsibility”

When it comes to triggers it’s important to contextual what the other persons intent was. 

Had an ex lose it on me once because I was watching Bob Ross videos and it reminded her of an ex that used to beat her. 

So she went off the wall and started screaming and hitting me before finally telling me what was wrong. 

Lots of incidents like that in that relationship. Drove me insane because I’d respect those triggers if I was informed in advance. Like who the hell expects bob ross to be a trigger?

Though I have my own list of weird triggers from last trauma so I understand the weirdest shit can send you spiraling. 

But the whole point is to overcome these things. I’ll respect whatever triggers someone has, but if they wear them like a badge of honor I won’t have any respect for THEM

Yikes! You're exactly right, we shouldn't be trying to avoid every potential trigger but to grow and get over them. Untreated anxiety disorders and trauma can present a lot of the same behaviors as narcissistic personalities even if they're not without empathy. The upshot is still the same, a lot of pain and chaos for everyone all around.
