Ever have something happen that sets off a trigger you forgot about?

I was reminded of a situation over 8 years ago recently. It set off a response I hadn't been expecting, but I am not displeased with it. It has made me more cautious and stand offish, simply because the feelings of abandonment had been so strong.

Now I am treading lightly to prevent the old event to happen again.

Yes, this is vague on purpose. Sorry.

Yes, it has happened a lot lately for me. It's almost like I put the memories away and now I can't do that any more.

@PhoenixPhail it used to happen a bit, but I've learned how to navigate them. This one was not one I expected lol has thrown off my chii

@FoxyQueen I'm very familiar with that effect. Sometimes, I think of something I said or did, and I just cringe 😖, even though it happened many years ago. It shows me how much of a different place I'm in now.
