If you're so well-adjusted, why did you post this godawful mess of 'things that shouldn't have been said'?
More importantly, why do you think 'lynching' is some kind of metaphor for people calling you on your (anonymous) shit on the internet? You do know what lynching is, right? How the fuck does it relate to people telling you you were wrong on the internet? And if it doesn't, why are you just throwing the word around like it means nothing (and if it means nothing to you, why are you using it)?
I think there's little point commenting on the original 'secret' but srsly, you seem to be conflating an awful lot of different things and that implies that you need more clarity in your life than you have. There's systematic discrimination there; sexism, racism, and so on. When people speak up about these, they are (on the whole) not airing their personal issues for attention because sexism and racism are impersonal things that affect everyone without exception. I'm a white immigrant; I am keenly aware of how much I benefit from racism, day in day out.
Then there's issues regarding triggers and mental health. These are health problems, end of. If you can deal with respecting your friends' coeliac disease or peanut allergies because you don't want to wreck their physical health, then you can deal with respecting other people's triggers too. It is not that fucking hard. If you don't have triggers, well, good for you! Me either, in spite of having gone through some trauma at an early age; some people have PTSD and/or triggers, others don't. In any case, speaking about your triggers and why you need them to be respected for the good of your health and that of everyone else who shares those triggers is not a request for an asspat; it's a fucking health need.
Then there's entirely personal, specific issues that arise from our life histories. You, sunshine, have these by the boatload! GJ!
