its so weird going to counseling and shit and having to say you were “triggered” unironically after the internet and popular culture has completely fucking dismantled and destroyed a legitimate term in psychology
I told my therapist about the whole “lol triggered” thing and she was so, so angry. Triggers are real things, people. The word “trigger” is an actual word used in psychology to describe certain phenomena brought upon by mental illnesses like anxiety, depression, PTSD, psychosis, schizophrenia, etc. It is NOT something to make fun of, it does NOT mean “annoyed or offended”, and it most certainly is NOT a joke. So STOP making triggered jokes. Stop it.
