Thank you, guys, for all your kind words.
Again, I didn't get the notifications from this.
Well, these days I've been a little off so I don't remember what happened yesterday (?) did I post this yesterday? But I'm going to try to elaborate a bit. (could be left unfinished)
First of all,

Is the way I interpret things the direct and only cause of my triggers?

I put it in those words because I feel that I am going full paranoid and getting everything wrong. When
bearguardian says that "They are just being themselves and say things that may seem directly aimed at you". Yes, that's my concern. Sometimes triggers are not directly caused and our wicked perception plays a big role in decoding others' intentions.

I'm not sure how to answer, but we all have emotions and shouldn't feel like it's a bad thing. We shouldn't feel like having a negative emotion is wrong or our "fault."
|
I'm not sure that's my difficulting but coping with these precise emotions. Maybe I want to know if it's "my fault" understanding something as bad when it's not so I can move on and NOT deal with these emotions in the first place. Just trying to understand myself as you are because I feel really numb right now and it's like being in a completely different state of mind.

You can only control how you react to those things.

Yes, this is the answer, I guess. So it is my fault, generally speaking.

They're emotions.. it's hard to control them, so no need to feel guilty about it

I guess that's what CBT/ACT is for, then. So I can change my diseased perspective. Thanks,
MickeyCheeky!

PS. Isn't "feeling numb" like an oxymoron or something? Whatever.
