Some people will be triggered, but they can see the trigger warning and stay away from the thread. More people will read what you wrote and know that they are not alone. Maybe you would be surprised how many people feel that they are the worst person in the world. I don't know if it is true or not, but I read that there was a time when the Dalai Lama - the leader of Tibetan Buddhism - was giving a lecture in New York. He was telling people that they should look within themselves and find happiness there. Immediately there was a question - what if you don't like yourself very much? It was still early on in the Dalai Lama's career and he was shocked by the question. He asked the audience, does anyone else feel this way? Almost everyone present raised their hand. The Dalai Lama started crying and that was how the story ended. When I first read that story I didn't really believe that the Dalai Lama would be shocked by that question - what if you don't like yourself very much? - but that was a long time ago, and it was back when I was one of those people who thought that I had no place in the world and that I was the only one who didn't deserve to be happy. Now I would have told them to look around at everyone else with their hand raised. I'm not really sure what I would have said after that, but I would want them to know at least that they aren't alone.
