> Is it really important to understand *why* people are triggered?
I just thought that maybe if I understood *why* that I would be better able to predict which posts need a trigger warning. Sometimes it is a surprise to me which posts trigger people and I don't understand why.
I need some concrete rules about triggers then...
Tell me which subjects need a trigger warning. It just confuses me. In a thread above a poster writes about suicide and yet that didn't need a trigger. Why are so many of my posts a trigger to people?
>I need to respect that.
I do respect the need for triggers, but I would like to be better able to predict which topics need trigger warnings. Sometimes it feels like it is random you know...I'm confused about why some topics mention certain things and are not triggering and yet other topics are triggering.
