#triggers are not an excuse for shitty behavior *coughcough*brandy*cough*

[truly-fantastic-me]

I don't know who needs to hear this-you know what? Yes, I do. This is a PSA for the motherfuckers who think it's okay to take someone's boundary in bad faith just because it was said in a way that "triggered" them. Needing direct communication doesn't make someone "controlling." Not hiding from you when you happen to be in the same fucking building doesn't make someone a "bully."

No one, except for your perpetrators if you have any, is responsible for your triggers. No, I'm not saying it's your fault you have those triggers. Yes, I am saying that it's up to you to deal with them. While your friends, family, and significant others can help you deal with your triggers, they sure as shit ain't responsible for dealing with them for you. Be safer! Do better!
