Knowing your triggers isn’t weakness. It’s reading the map before the trip.

Knowing where the ground is soft is not the same as being fragile. A driver who knows the junction where accidents happen is a better driver, and slows down earlier. Pretending you have no sore spots means walking into them at full speed and being surprised.

Name two of yours plainly: being interrupted, being compared to a sibling, being told you are quiet. Then pick one and decide in advance what you will do when it happens, something small like a pause before answering. Having the plan is what turns a reaction into a choice.
