"If you're triggered, you will know about it! It's a very immediate emotional response that can be overwhelming. I'm triggered by weird things relating to some emotional abuse. I don't expect to be catered for - it's just life. " I agree with this. Although there are some things that are fare to come with a warning. Like anything in life, about balance. More importantly though,I'm sorry that you have suffered abuse. x | |||

For many people though, it's just impossible to know when it might happen. | |||

"I can be by raised/angry male voices. A bit of a freeze/flight response. " Oh I can absolutely see that would have an immediate effect on you | |||

"Certain aisles in the supermarket trigger me. " Does that make it easier to work around if you know it might happen? | |||

"Very specific and trauma related. TW always appreciated so I don't have to fight off a dissociative state." I'm sorry to hear it. Glad the trigger warnings help. | |||

"I’m adult enough to not need a trigger warning. If I don’t like something I can just pull up my big boy pants and turn it off I’m not easily triggered either so that helps. Being “triggered” is the new “offended”. It’s just a snazzy new way to say “I don’t like/agree with what your saying and I want you to stop”." It really isn’t. Being triggered is a part of life, and it’s a cue, you can look into what has triggered you and learn from it. If you’re burying your triggers, you’re just stuffing them down and denying them, which isn’t healthy. I don’t even necessarily tell people I’m triggered, but I can learn from it. | |||

If you have none you’re very lucky but how dare you dismiss something that’s bloody crippling to others!!!! | |||

"Is trauma warning a better way of saying it ? Being reminded of a past experience isn't something that everyone can just shrug off, at least not without help. " In psych speak, a trigger is something that can set off your trauma. It's been appropriated into general culture, but stuff happens. When I say trigger, I mean, like, the PTSD style reaction, not getting pissed off | |||

If anything - be grateful you don't have any trauma!! | |||

"Nothing actually triggers me. Nothing that would require a warning before hand at least I can think of. I'm generally really good at compartmentalising and can separate things as best I can. Sometimes it's harder than others. " Is that because you've been lucky enough to not suffer any trauma, or it's a long time ago? | |||

This and a fair few words have become so mainstream and overused that it's initial use is almost worthless. | |||

I don't think you get to decide that you must be shielded from other people's disability workarounds. And - could be wrong - I've never seen evidence of trigger warnings ever genuinely triggering people, in the official sense. Just annoying them. People's need for a disability accommodation trumps. | |||
