Trigger alerts

 

Careful.
Her triggers are always ready to pop.

One of the guidelines for healthy dialogue with a woman is to absolutely avoid gross exaggerations and generalizations. Some men sometimes exaggerate from the start.  they are triggered  by a particular behaviors and it reminds women of past traumas. So guys be mindful of your triggers and understand that a large part of being understood is making sure you have the other person’s attention. And there is nothing that will cause someone to shut down like you adding things to the narrative to get your point across that didn’t actually happen or happen in a way or to that degree. The goal is to be heard not to get your point across.
