Hear me out, guys. I really, REALLY hate the word “triggered”. It’s used for everything and it’s thrown everywhere to label someone you don’t like.

Upset that a bully won’t leave you alone? “Triggered”

Calling out someone for bigoted behavior? “Triggered”

Hurt by someone betraying and using you? “Triggered”

Having a bad day in general? “TRIGGERED!!!!”

You see how annoying it gets? It’s tiresome. It removes any wholesome conversations just for some a-hole to act rude and dismissive. Any use of the word “triggered” in that manner is infuriating.

They don’t even know what the word “triggered” actually means. When will this ever end?
