Poll Do You Have A Trigger That You Or Your Peers Dont Understand?

[asadafagahajakal]

We have peers that are generally supportive of us, even when they dont understand something about you or your past. But are there some triggers or reactions that you, or even your peers dont get?

For me, i still dont get why i will block or dodge something, even when nothing is moving towards me, and people dont understand why i immediately back up and cover my ears when i hear car brakes or somebody screeching, and honestly i hate having to explain it.

Yep, some I dont get, some others dont get...and adding an extra, many unknown triggers.

My entire road of life is full of pot holes, maybe that's why I ended up in Ohio :-D

My first pot hole was at age 6.... the newest was a few days ago, we had a wind storm and somebody's trash can came flying across the road and I hit it, it scared the everloving crap out of me.

I was a twiching SOB the rest of the night.

I'm pretty simple, overall. It's usually pretty obvious why something is a trigger or a stressor. There are possibly some exceptions to that, but I can't think of any offhand.

There is a pizza place in town that all of my co-workers love but I absolutely Hate it. I had just started seeing a guy and we had pizza from there the night he assaulted me. They think I am weird but I refuse to tell them so I just don't eat it. The smell makes me nauseous and very shaky. I stay far away from it.

I was part of a airliner crash recovery team.

And the smell of jet fuel at the airport, sets me on edge.

If I step on one of those things, I tap the hull to see it it sounds ok.

Rational? NOOOO!!!

But have to do it, flew once and didn't do it...... flight from hell.

Grape jelly... looks like clots to me. Gross, I know - definitely don't want to share that with friends at a restaurant. :yuck:
