Trust is definitely one of my big ones. Any male raising their voice or acting aggressively is another. Authoritarian type leadership, such as my current supervisor. Being treated differently because I'm a woman. Loud noises, bright lights too. They all tie back to my father and his abuse of my family, but have been supplemented by a life of bad luck, bad choices and sometimes bad supervisors.
I understand where you are coming from with the forum feeling different. I'm very cautious about commenting on posts now.
