If It Triggers You, It’s Teaching You
If someones behaviour sets something off in you, pay attention. That feeling isn’t random, it’s revealing.
We often focus on what they’re doing wrong. But real self-awareness starts when you ask:
Why is this bothering me?
What is this showing me about myself?
“If you spot it, you’ve got it” means the traits that trigger you in others often point to something unclaimed in you.
It might be a part you’ve disowned.
It might be a strength you’ve suppressed.
It might be a boundary you’ve never set.
They’re not the problem. They’re the mirror.
And if you let it, that moment of agitation can become a moment of awareness.
