I don't think it was that big of a deal Deneb.
I know first hand that even really dumb things can "trigger" my anxiety and fear. It's not really something I can always avoid. I think some might come here expecting a perfectly "trigger free" zone. Such a place does not exist. I am constantly freaked out by things (my intense fear of death) like cemeteries, some churches (not all, only ones I get a bad vibe from), and other related things. But I cannot avoid those things (as much as I do try), I just have to get through it.
I meant to tell you earlier, but regarding people being hostile towards you, you have to remember, a lot of people on here (on a forum regarding psychological issues) are stressed out and have problems. If someone freaks out about something you say, it's not always your fault. People like this can be easily triggered into anger for no reason. Everyone should try to avoid triggering others, but people need to realize they live in reality, and triggers can be anywhere and everywhere. It's something I've had to come to face with.
