Blake Robert Templeton argues that being triggered isn't a sign something's wrong with you, but that you lack coping skills in that area. He frames triggers as growth opportunities and notes that harsh remarks usually come from someone else's unresolved pain, not from you.
When somebody gets triggered, it doesn't mean something's actually wrong. It reveals what's untrained. Pain points expose growth points. So instead of being shocked or their actual reaction, then creating a reaction in you and you having frustration, bitterness, or something, process that hurt people hurt people. So if someone says something that's harsh or disrespectful, realize that they've been hurt on that before. And it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with You.
