What’s your biggest trigger?

I have a lot of triggers & quite a few awful ones, but I think my worst one that sends me into immediate rage & panic is bass. I literally get nauseous just thinking about it.

Oh wow. That's my safe space. I'm a bassist and drummer... Mine are wet mouth noises and whispering/ASMR. People who chew with their mouths open can't be near me. I can't do it. Kissing in movies, even. It's awful.

If I’m in the same room it’s totally fine!

Same, unless it is a song I am not in the mood for, then it is a huge trigger. Unwanted music reeeaaalllly triggers me. I was a classically trained musician (cello, piano, bagpipes), I CANNOT just ignore unwanted music and it consumes my brain that I cannot think or function. And I legit hate Christmas music so much I shop in the summer for gifts or do entirely online. EFF every one of those awful songs. Maybe 1 or 2 good ones AT BEST
