If you would like to share please do. Just curious.I'll go first:
1. loud noises, yelling, I can't watch The Jerry Springer Show
2. Aggression and frustration directed at me or at others
3. Talking overtop of me, so I'm not heard
4. Not giving me oppertunity to be understood
5. Touching me
6. Invading my personal space
7. Yelling at me
8. Entrapment, not being able to walk past someone (whose angry) to get
to another room
9. Crowds
Your turn, what triggers you?

For me,
1. Loud noises, especially yelling, pet barking/meowing incessantly, a baby crying or kid in the store making loud whining noise
2. Aggression directed towards me
3. Talking over me or walking away from me, without explanation, when it is my turn to talk.
4. Weapons near me (for instance, I'd get upset if someone were brandishing a base ball bat in my face while angry- even if they were only using it to point.)
5. Invading my personal space, walking over my conversations to shut me up or ignoring me
6. Questioning my intelligence ("what are you stupid or something?" "Why don't you think sometimes before you act...", "Think smarter, not harder.")Or talked down to out of spite.
7. Being told or implied that I am not good enough
8. Bullying behavior directed at me- coercion attempts
9. Not allowing me time to explain when asked a question about what I am feeling or not asking me how I feel at all
10. Seeing others disrespected, threatened or abused.
11. Making me repeat myself in conversation or do something repetitive other than out of lack of understanding
12. Taking advantage of me for any reason
13. Crowded or congested areas
14. Not being heard
15. Apathy from others when it comes to picking up after oneself or cleaning up after activities
