Stupidest.trigger. ever. / what is your weirdest trigger?

[katz]

Being called "Honey" - by anyone. Even my spouse. It makes me very angry and I just want to lash out at them. Strangers too. Also, being told that "you're all right" really gets to me. How can they even think that they have the right to tell me how I feel.

I'm guilty of calling people that but that's how it is where I live. Anybody I don't know the name is "sweetie, baby, darling, and that word you don't like." It's a cultural and generational thing here. Nothing bad is meant by it.

Actually, the others don't bother me - just that one. I think it was what my father called me, as he was attacking me. "you're okay, Honey."

Does anyone have a problem with certain "sounds"? I have a terrible time when someone eats / crunches an apple near me.

Old-style skeleton keys in a lock. Glad they're not around any more, but they're in movies once in a while.

I just realized that anything from the old crocodile Hunter show will trigger me. It was a show I watched alot when I was with #2 and I didn't realize it effected me until I tried to show the old show to my granddaughter and then tried to watch a show with Terri Irwin narrating. How freaking stupid is that.
I feel so dumb.

Lol. I also have stupid triggers. Like an entire race, men of a certain body type, blue dress shirts and...magazines ?

You might want to start a thread on this... I haven’t seen one in quite awhile... And sound issues are one of those quirky ones that can come from a lot of different places (triggers, stressors, reminders, hypercausis, hypervig, sensory issues, startle reflex, etc.). So it usually gets pretty interesting the different problems people do have with sound, and the different solutions people use.
