Right now for me...it's facebook. Two friends have dropped me...two I shouldn't even care about. One was an ex boyfriend from high school who got back together with his wife, so he can't be friends with me anymore, and the other was a nanny of mine's husband. Who got drunk one night and said things in a bar about my husband and I to some of my husbands co-workers...two no big losses really...but still hit my buttons for whatever reason.

Buttons...I have plenty. And some days they have no effect on me, and at other times I lose it. And feel guilty when I do go off.
I can only take a certain amount of someone joking about me, then it starts to become too personal. Idiots and lack of intellect get to me too. I'm probably just an arrogant and opinionated *****, but I do need people to be able to show why they deserve my respect. Going off on a tangent I think... I have huge issues with perceived rejection. I almost become a stalker as I try reassure myself |

Perceived rejection is also a button of mine, but being seen as weak/not assertive enough or beneath someone really hurts and angers me.
Lying or manipulation really doesn't do it for me either. I've just been on the receiving end of that in two past relationships near their ends, so it really rankles me and I can't help watch out for people that have such qualities. |

Yeah, and it especially stings when you've trusted someone intimately and they've trashed it.
Trust is earned, and also both precious and fragile. |

Stuff that gets to me: inconsiderate drivers, idiot co-workers (particularly those who love to pry while faking sincerity/empathy), and people trying to manipulate me or my emotions.
Also get really peeved when I've shared my being bp with someone I trust who then throws it in my face with a cheap shot or because they're PO'd. I had it with Facebook 6 months ago and haven't logged in since. My profile's still up, and I'm still getting notifications, but I have about as much interest in logging as I would in eating cat puke. |

Drivers are a nuisance, especially when I'm hypomanic

people who hit my buttons/triggers are usually caused by my feeling rejected (even if i don't care about them.) i have to remind myself they are of no consequence.
