That makes sense. I just never questioned it really, I guess because nobody else seemed concerned about my feelings at the time (sorry, don't mean to sound self pitying).

Do u have triggered responses to similar situations?
I didn't used to have triggered responses to similar situations - until recently. Now I find it hugely triggering when people get angry on TV. I can't watch, I have to turn it off. Not sure about in real life as I haven't had the chance to find out, happily.
