I can rewire some of my triggers with time but I need to understand what they are and want to do it before there's a chance.

I need to be very careful about saying stuff like that... I didn't mention it, but others speculate that she has borderline personality disorder.... She prefers for people to figure her out and does better when others react to her feelings and prioritize those over other stuff (feelings >>> logical communication). I am learning to screen all of my communication for any hint of condescending or patronizing affect. That being said, I wish I could just ask like that and get the answer. That would be great!
