Triggered in the colloquial sense of “upset”, yes. There’s a huge portion of the population who are addicted to the endorphin rush of getting angry or crying.

If you’d ever seen someone with PTSD fully freak out you wouldn’t use the term so lightly, I suspect. Nobody wants to lose ever more time reliving the worst moments of their life. Nobody seeks that shit out.

Stupid.

I can see some truth to this.

I read news articles online and I know I shouldn’t, but I head over to the comments, and I know exactly what I’ll see there and when I find it, I make sure to tell them why they’re wrong.

I DON’T LIKE GETTING TRIGGERD 🤬🤬AND I AM TRIGGERED 🤬

We are used to it. Our brains have become hardwired to search for trouble because antisocial media has farmed us this way.
