Getting triggered when people say you are happy?

5 comments

1. Probably assuming they were unhappy when they were actually doing quite well

2. Maybe picking up on some jealousy or insincerity, like “well, I’m glad *you’re* happy”

3. Probably somebody else thinking it’s necessary and appropriate to tell me how I feel.

4. Because they are human and can get triggered if they want. It doesn’t trigger me, i just shake my head at how wrong they are.

5. What’s worse is when people say ‘triggered’ when they mean ‘annoyed’.

   Words have meanings.
