Noticing and paying attention to my ‘mild discomfort’ is critically important for me to avoid situations and people who either abuse me or trigger me.

i wonder who all these people are that think that a person’s sense of comfort is unimportant

like.

how is comfort not directly connected a person’s sense of safety and well being?

i’m not saying that feeling uncomfortable = a trigger ¹

but i’m interested in this… trivialization of what being uncomfortable is, as far as a mental states are concerned ²

because this notion that i should… idk, put up with any situation that is less than a trigger because, what? i’m supposed to just grit my teeth and tough it out?

okay. sure.
