When You’re Triggered In Social Settings

Because we’re human beings with human brains and bodies, we are going to get triggered at times when we’re in a social setting or scrolling on social media. 

We tend to get triggered when we compare ourselves to others in regard to:

• appearance/attractiveness/clothing
• wealth/income
• education/intelligence
• gifts/talents/strengths
• social status/relationship status
• success/achievements
• career/job
• children’s accomplishments
• your zip code

I invite you to consider these questions:

• When have you noticed feeling inferior in regard to your:
  • appearance?
  • income or financial status?
  • level of education or type of intelligence?
  • your children or lack thereof?
  • residence or neighborhood?
