Do you mean like if I told someone about it?
The last thing I want to do is trigger or hurt anyone, but I can't be held responsible for if I do on accident. I get triggered by lots of things like really nasty looking scars or the sound of footsteps. If I see someone with a nasty scar or someone walks loudly enough that I can hear them coming and I get triggered badly, that is on me, not them. I don't mean to say that people should go outside and start shouting really insensitive things about really heavy topics, but if a mark on my body deeply bothers a stranger, that is on them.
However I can understand that SI could upset my loved ones. I would be upset if one of my friends hurt themselves, I would be upset about it even though I have mixed feelings on the issue.
[EDIT] maybe I'm being too insensitive on the whole stranger thing. The scars I have that are visible when fully clothed don't necessarily look like SI scars.
