That fact that your still here means you are. "dyeing is easy living is hard", resilience takes a lot of bravery, strength and intelligences. Though it can be hard to see, since resilience is about survival and isn't always great for growing and changing.

If you can’t have reasonable normal person boundaries, that’s a you problem.

I’m not reinventing how I deal with the entire world just for you. And if you expect me to, you’re the problem. Not me.

It all depends on the nature of the “boundary”. If it’s “hey can you knock before you enter the bathroom, it’s kinda weird” that’s obviously a fairly normal request.

If it’s a “hey, I can’t stand it when people ask me about my day” or “hey, I’d prefer it if you didn’t wear the color blue around me” or “hey, I want to be able to choose every ounce of food that we consume when we’re together, forever”, those are pretty abnormal boundaries, and expecting everyone else to conform to them is pretty entitled behavior.

Basically, if you expect me to have to maintain a list of rules in my head for how I should behave that are solely applicable to you, you should get that checked out because you’re absolutely batshit crazy if you think that’s ok.

And before you start the tired old argument of “it’s easy, why not just do it”, it’s not easy to manage each person’s requirements. It’s easy for you because I have to do the work. And expecting everyone you interact with to have to adapt to you is a trash person’s perspective.

Worth considering: There’s a difference between someone maliciously triggering you to inflict further trauma and those who unintentionally trigger painful memories.

These decisions require nuanced thought about the specific trigger and the reasonableness of the request given the person’s relationship to said person, rate of occurrence of said behavior in the general population, etc.

I love this. Too many times people with triggers are told they’re responsible to stop the trigger whilst no one blames those causing the trigger when they know of the affect it has on the person. It’s everyone job to try to help each other and make life a little easier for one and other if we can. Everyone has hidden battles and if we can help them, why wouldn’t we?
