Yes these are a lot of triggers- but I have them because I went through many things and those are things that actually put my mind so far back into the event it feels as if I am experiencing it again. I have learned to control some of my reactions to some of them to an extent - but the fact they are there does not change.

Honestly, I had no idea that calling people stupid triggers you. I tend to call people idiots a lot because I have a problem with willful ignorance. If anything, you could say that people choosing to be ignorant in this day and age when we have so much knowledge at our fingertips triggers me.
I can try to cut down on that in the future.
