New personal policy

The next time I have that kind of reaction to someone, I am immediately blocking them.

It’s just not worth the risk.

Getting stuck in that mode is too dangerous for me.

Me too.

I need to learn to respond at the FIRST recognition of what’s going on, not wait and wait and wait until it’s too late.

I suspect that there’s considerable overlap in people we need to avoid. I wonder if there’s any way we could help each other remember to do that.

Yeah I think we’re triggered in similar ways by similar people for similar reasons. Not sure how to help each other, but if you think of anything let me know. I know other people in the same boat too.

I think it helps me when you point out that you’re triggered by someone and that you have blocked that person.

I think it would help me if when I seem to be triggered, someone *told me* that I’m probably triggered and should probably block the people doing it.

I think there are other things but I do not know what they are.
