Triggered
When we are "triggered", there is something wrong with*us*. We have a "sore spot", perhaps it could be called an "open wound". This sore spot is a result of trauma, fear, a deep insecurity that, when prodded, gives a shock of pain. A short, sharp, shock of intense pain is instantly reacted to with an instinctive 'fight-or-flight' reaction.
If you are "triggered", you’ve reacted defensively, in anger. Your "sore spot" has been poked.
Solution? Learn mindfulness. Learn it by watching wise teachers like Thich Nhat Hanh or Pema Chodron or Venerable Thubten Chodron, on YouTube.
They can teach you how to see yourself as you really are, then examine your fears and insecurities, looking deeply to find the real, initial cause (s).
Embrace the pain. The only way to truly get over a painful thing is to go through it. If you distract yourself and try to forget it, you’ve only gone around it. It’s still there, behind you, but still in you, following you.
.Have compassion for yourself. Then you will have compassion for others and we, together, can help make the world a better place.
