Something I wrote yesterday in another thread before this one was created:
"Such a responsibility to never say anything wrong [or trigger a person], is a scary one [to me]. That's something that triggers me."
I also mentioned that my intent is never to trigger, but it does happen sometimes without me always realizing it.
There is a chance that I will not remember more than 10% of what is written here, other than what I would have assumed would be a trigger even without this thread. Given that, I am sorry if I ever trigger anyone here with a response that includes a mentioned trigger. If that isn't acceptable, the only other option for me is to stop answering posts. Such a reduction in freedom of speech is a distressing prospect for me. When expectations are beyond what I can handle, I run or hide. To avoid that, the only thing I can do is to set up reasonable ones for myself, so when I fail to meet them, I am kind to myself. Some mistakes I need to learn from, but others may not even really qualify as bona fide mistakes.
I totally understand that it is helpful for some to share triggers, for various reasons, but I think the word "preferences" does imply expectations a bit (in this context), some of which others may not be able to meet.
