Everybody Ain't Triggered

Before anybody gets triggered by the title… LISTEN. 😂

Your guy Nerdy G is not attacking mental health. Real anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and other mental-health challenges deserve to be taken seriously.

But we need to talk about something.

Have we reached a point where some people use “I’m triggered” whenever they don’t want to answer a question, complete a responsibility, go somewhere, or explain how they really feel?

In this episode of Oh That’s Random Podcast, Nerdy G discusses:

  • The difference between struggling and avoiding accountability
  • Why people must learn to communicate their feelings
  • Children and adults using mental-health terminology
  • How misusing “triggered” can hurt people who genuinely need support
  • Why isolation isn’t always the answer
  • Being honest when you simply don’t want to do something
  • How our actions influence the way people see us
  • Doing things you don’t necessarily want to do

Sometimes you’re genuinely triggered.

Sometimes you’re overwhelmed.

And sometimes… you just don’t want to go get that ice cream. 😂

It’s okay to say that—but be honest, communicate, and take accountability.

Do you think the word “triggered” is being overused?

How can we respect genuine mental-health struggles while still encouraging accountability and honest communication?
