Reply to comment by Curious_Star_ in Trigger warnings by TeazieBreezie

I think OP just doesn’t really understand what a trigger is and what it means. Which is ok, everyone has to start somewhere. But I think OP should have said that they do not get triggered and stopped it there. They get a bit grossed out at certain things — unless they have PTSD from maggots and poop which I doubt it

To play Devil’s advocate: one very well could have PTSD triggered by those things if those things were involved in their traumatic experience. Triggers can get incredibly specific—someone might have PTSD triggered by the scent of body wash their abusive ex used or by the song that was playing on the radio right before a near fatal car crash, even though neither m of those things are remotely bad in and of themselves.
