One thing I did that really helped was that I screened my friends list. I filtered out every person I did not know personally. I have only one person on the list that I have never met face to face and that is a penpal I have corresponded with for 20 plus years. That has significantly reduced the triggering that I seemed to feel daily.

There remain two types of triggers for me. 1) Those individuals who insist on living their perfect lives out over social media. I propose that their lives aren't so perfect after all. 2) the shocking posts of hatred and political extremism. I delete them too.

There is no rule you must stay friends with those who set you off.
