“When love looks like obsession... or maybe it’s something deeper.”

This hit me way too hard. Ever loved someone so much that no matter where they go, you follow—without question, without pause? This is not just a quote. It's a whole feeling.

Some stories don't make sense until you see the truth behind them. 👉 You need to see this right now It’ll stick with you. Promise.

Spoken Triggers

Words aren’t just sounds, they’re reminders. Sometimes, someone says something that seems ordinary and my body tenses without reason. But there is a reason. Those same words once came from someone who hurt me, judged me, broke my sense of safety. Now, even in new mouths, those words sting. It’s confusing, exhausting, and unfair. But I’m starting to name the feeling, to acknowledge the past without letting it own me. I remind myself: It’s not the same voice. Not anymore.

An Emotional Trigger is a response to a person, situation, event or other content providing entity, that provokes a strong emotional reaction. Often we are not self aware when we are triggered, and fall into reacting prior to sifting through our strong emotional response. Emotional triggers are commonly  formed during early childhood when we are subject to difficult experiences that we were unable to process effectively, given our limited coping mechanisms and resources at the time. When we are triggered, we experience feelings and sensations that are connected to the circumstances that gave birth to the trigger [and our] reactions may or may not represent what is happening in the present moment. -- Soghrati
