I wish someone could clearly define what is and isn't a trigger so everyone wouldn't get up in arms about it.

For instance, I had an experience last year that I'm not sure I'm allowed to say was triggering. I went to see the film version of The Hunger Games and I knew I'd probably be emotional during the Reaping scene and at Rue's death. However, when I actually saw the film, I experienced a really raw sense of fear and eventually grief that I did not expect to have and could not control. At first, I thought it was because I'm a really protective big sister, like Katniss, but after thinking about it for a long while, I realized I reacted that way because it reminded me of everything I felt during the three dog attacks I experienced. My dog was always attacked, not me, but those two HG scenes awakened the same fear, guilt, and sense of failure I'd felt then. I'm pretty sure this is what a trigger is, but I'm afraid to call it that because I think most of the internet would say that three dog attacks aren't serious enough to trigger someone. So mostly I just feel weird about this experience.

Sam here. I came across something I think might be a trigger for me, but I'm not sure if it fits the definition? Partly because I had a sort of delayed-reaction, totally irrational response two nights after seeing the movie that caused it (which dealt with possession in a supposedly true-life context--very lapsed Roman Catholic here,) rather than as I was watching. But once it hit it kept me awake and freaking out for a few nights after that, and now several weeks later I'm often still a little uneasy at night because the damn thing will come to mind again.

(Still don't expect people to warn for the content, though. I'm just avoiding anything to do with the topic as best I can.)

A trigger is something that is in every conceivable way your problem for you to deal with, but somehow you feel should be everyone else's problem instead.
