I've even explained the definition of trigger to people and they say 'you must be triggered, you're angry now. If their in appropriate use of the word is a trigger for me to be angry because they're dimwits and I'm trying to educate them, then so be it! A few have not known, and they were glad to have a definition. Why they can't just look that up to confirm what a word means before spreading it inaccurately like feminism propaganda.

I know most people may understand what a trigger is here, but you can also view triggers like a brain's muscle memory. Bang your foot on a piece of furniture and over time you'll remember the furniture is there. Move the furniture and your brain remembers where you previously stubbed your toe and you'll automatically avoid that area! But oops... you moved everything so now you have to relearn where to place your feet. Not.. the best analogy. But you CAN train yourself to unlearn the triggers with your bad memories, and a part of that is recognizing a trigger and working on the brain aspects; counselling etc etc.
