Usually, when I am triggered, it is more about me and my past experiences than them. When we are open/vulnerable we risk being hurt but sometimes when we get hurt we grow in self knowledge.

You have a soft gentle way about you from my POV. Relationships and society are messy. Maybe that is why some of us retreat into isolation. Many people need some alone time everyday because relationships can drain them--I think this might be the definition of people who are introverted. Don't know if you are an introvert but I do think it is exhausting to be what everyone wants you to be all of the time even if you are an extrovert like I am.

I find you sweet and likable and love that you post so much.
