Someone today called me dangerous and it triggered me like hell

I didn't know. I think I must have put myself through a lot of danger and I must have made myself feeling very unsafe.
How about you? Are you dangerous? Are you proud of it or do you see your whys ?

A lot of people here refer to me as being suspicious and shady. It used to get to me but I’m still trying to figure out why they think this about me

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart I think of you as open and in no way would I call you shady. It's strange.
On one hand, people are talking about what's in their heads. On the other, we need to get feedback from others and listen.

In this case, since it triggered me so much, it was for me to hear... But I still don't know what to do with it. I'm trying to create a structure within, whereas I will feel safe.
It felt bad because I felt like being called potentially harmful or bad.

@SW-User you seem normal. I have heard the word used lightheartedly to tease someone… it can mean that you’re smart and clever and that no one can fool you, so don’t ever try. If it doesn’t make literal sense for you to be called dangerous, then it’s probably a compliment.
