never heard of "trauma triggers" but, I assume it means "things that make me fly into instant unstoppable murderous rage" ...

it can also mean "things that make me start crying uncontrollably and curl up in a fetal position"

When someone leaves just one noodle of mac and cheese that I made... and ate it without telling me, I cry a little and the "my heart will go on" theme song from titanic plays in my head.

It's funny because the trigger-mongers present it as a real thing but nobody outside the US has ever heard about it unless they've seen the dank memes that originated from the phenomenon. While apparently some colleges have introduced trigger warnings everywhere.

I saw some ugly shit in Kosovo. But strangely that doesnt bother me.

My angry drunken father screaming at me is much worse. And almost anything can trigger the fear. A drunk person. A sober person screaming. Talking about alcoholics or drunkeness. Talking about angry fathers. Abusive fathers. Lots of stuff.
