What are some ways that you battle with this kind of situation? How do you handle your triggers in public or at work? How do you talk to these people and in what tone? What are some good strategies to avoid getting hurt in any way

If I'm actually triggered? I back my shit down. I'm not responding to what is actually happening, but to past events. I have never, not once, found that someone who triggered me deserved even 1% of the reaction that I experienced, much less threw at them.

If I'm not triggered, however? Merely recognizing things I don't like, or disagree with? Major difference, there. Then I've got pretty much free rein to act in whatever manner I deem appropriate to the situation.
