What words are your 'weakness' / 'triggers'?

[Paladin-Hoss]

Oh hell yeah I have one!

Have a serious violent reaction to the word Stupid. Actually something I warn people about when I get to know them.

Cannot explain why. Started happening when I was in my teens. I've smacked friends waaaaay too hard for saying it, even in jest. I even slapped my mum once cause she called me a stupid *****...

I mean, obviously, when I tell people this, they think it's hilarious to immediately reply with 'you're stupid', which doesn't produce a violent reaction cause i'm expecting it ... but if you say it seriously, or you take me by surprise with it, don't expect me not to lash out!

The same with me!

If somebody say that to me...then it's on!

I don't care if you're a man, woman , child or small mammals...

 

[PyroChamber]

Another one that bugs me is "smile" or "come on, smile!"

It's like damn, there's nothing wrong with me just because I'm not smiling. Plus, if I do smile...then what?

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

' you are fat or ugly"
some cliché advices: Dont drinking and driving, Hard work= better life, and so on.

 

[CConn]

I hate cliched feel-good phrases, like "everything happens for a reason" or "God moves in mysterious ways." Really? Tell that to a kid dying of cancer.

Maybe God just knows that life isn't all that great anyway.

 

[Bruce Banner]

The phrase "Life is what you make it"

When someone calls me "boy".

Hearing "ya'll" every other word really ticks me off.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I'm the same way. Apparently if I'm not smiling my family thinks I'm angry or brooding.

 

[Boy Scout]

I hate when people "shush" me. I'm not too fond of anyone telling me "fix my face" either. Just because I'm not smiling doesn't mean I have some sort of attitude problem.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I wouldn't say I have a certain word, but if anything is a "trigger" for me its being called a lair... or in anyway being accused of lying

 

[Superman 1265]

When a girl says "Whatever".

 

[Leenie]

When used as an insult or slur, "******" or "******ed" feel like a punch to my stomach. I almost feel like crying when I hear those words being used like that, and I'm the type of person who can hold her emotions in most of the time. I have an older brother who is autistic and another older brother who was Down Syndrome (and he passed away in May 2011). So, yeah ... Anyone should be able to understand how I feel about this.

I don't have a specific word or phrase for this, per se ... But if I pick up the slightest feeling that I'm being patronized, my "b*tch switch" is flipped.

 

[Drizzle]

I hate when people "shush" me.

Same. I actually get more pissed off when someone shushes me as opposed to someone telling me to "shut the **** up."

 

[hopefuldreamer]

The question 'So?', after just making a point.

What do you mean so? That IS the point!

Also, being told to 'calm down'. Especially by someone who has deliberately started an arguement with me, and is now trying to make out I'M the arguementative one...

 

[Casius--J]

I read this thread thinking I dont have any but after reading the last few posts I can so I do now....

Being accused of being a liar or that I'm lying, thats one thing I do pride myself on is being honest.

and I hate being called "Boy", I'm 28 years old and 6ft 3" tall dammit! lol

 

[hopefuldreamer]

I had no idea how many 'triggers' I had until this thread

Thought of another one: 'Are you deaf?' (When the person is mumbling, has a thick accent or is really quiet so I can't understand them) Or 'Well speak up then!' (When a person hasn't heard me because they weren't paying attention).

Also, really hate it when someone describes me as 'bubbly'. I don't know why, but it my mind, they may as well just be calling me fat.

 

[Nathan]

The entire human language. Most days, I just want to punch anyone in the face, just for opening their mouths.

I feel like that in my office whenever a customer walks in. It doesn't matter how nice they are, I still find them unbearably irritating.

 

[Nathan]

You get me.

 

[El Payaso]

I hate cliched feel-good phrases, like "everything happens for a reason" or "God moves in mysterious ways." Really? Tell that to a kid dying of cancer.

Lol, true. A survivor of an accident goes, 'God saved me.' Alrighty, so he killed everyone else. Nice god you have there.

And "everything happens for a reason." Sure, she cheated me because she was a *****. That's the reason. Not like it's a complete riddle, nor does it help much either.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

"God bless America"

So he should just ignore other countries? Screw them, right?

Assuming God also thinks "America" is not the name of the whole continent.

 

[Obi-Ron]

I was just wondering if any words are trigger-worthy for some people.

For me, depending on how their said...

This.

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

People at the temp.office who talks to you like you're some kind of a ******, just because you've done mostly factory work and that kind of thing...

 

[CConn]

I hate when people "shush" me.

When my girlfriend goes "Shush, boy." I immediately want to accost her.

And I usually do.

 

[Boy Scout]

Same. I actually get more pissed off when someone shushes me as opposed to someone telling me to "shut the **** up."

Actually, that'd piss me off just as much, if not more so.

When my girlfriend goes "Shush, boy." I immediately want to accost her.

And I usually do.

Good man.

 

[Diamondhead]

I love you
