Outside of triggers, I do find it brings me down when individuals use hateful self talk. I do not see the value in it, but it isn't a trigger per say.

For me, the most supportive and helpful communication style is a simple and direct approach. I am not always great at reading between the lines, so I prefer it when you just tell me what's on your mind even if it is tough to hear. Of course, if that's not your way or if you prefer another style I'm willing to roll with it.
I'll keep my triggers private for now, aside from the one I mentioned. thanks for this thread
