It does make you insensitive. Not that the scene didn't bother you, but that you put the word trigger in quotation marks, and in saying "manning up" is something that "adults do," you implied that people who are legitimately triggered are acting childish.

Now, I'm not saying that people who are triggered should not take steps to maybe cope with it--because frankly, I think you are happier if you do end up working past it (and yes, I am triggered by something and am working towards coping as best I can). But assuming that people who are triggered are supposed to get over it simply by "manning up" is the same bullshit as telling people with depression that they should get over it because everyone has problems.

This. This +1 forever.

Agreed on all counts.

I personally interpreted "manning up" as "helping yourself/getting help," however that may take place. Same with depression. "Manning up" may not be "getting the fuck over it" for everybody, it may be "having the strength to admit you need to get help" or "experimenting and finding out what works for you to help you deal with your trigger."

That's what 'manning up' meant for me, yeah. Triggers are not immutable facts of personality. They can be overcome.
