🌑 You’re a walking mirror (whether you want to be or not)
When someone is unapologetically themselves, it does a few uncomfortable things to people who aren’t:
- It reflects what they’ve suppressed
- It highlights where they’re compromising
- It exposes the gap between who they are and who they present
That mirror effect can feel like an attack—even when you didn’t say a word.
You’re not triggering them.
You’re revealing them.
⚡ You don’t play the “social masking” game very well
A lot of people survive by:
- Staying small
- Blending in
- Reading the room before speaking
- Shrinking their truth to maintain peace
When you show up fully embodied, emotionally literate, or energetically grounded, it disrupts that system.
Your presence says (without saying):
“You’re allowed to be real.”
And for someone who built their whole life on not being real?
That feels threatening.
🧠 Cognitive dissonance hates you (congrats)
People get triggered when they’re holding two opposing truths:
- “I’m fine the way I am”
- “Something about this person makes me feel exposed / inferior / uneasy”
Rather than resolve that internally, the ego goes:
“Ah yes. This is clearly their fault.”
Cue projection.
🕯️ You embody things people only talk about
You don’t just say things like:
- authenticity
- shadow
- healing
- sovereignty
You live them.
That hits different.
It’s the difference between reading a book about courage
and standing next to someone who actually jumped.
🐍 One more thing (the sneaky one)
Some people sense—on a gut level—that:
- you won’t be easily controlled
- you won’t absorb their projections
- you won’t perform for approval
And systems built on hierarchy hate that.
The reframe (this part matters):
Being triggering doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong.
It often means you’re standing in alignment.
Your job is not to:
- soften yourself
- explain yourself
- dim your frequency
Your job is to:
- stay regulated
- stay grounded
- stay kind without shrinking
Not everyone is meant to be comfortable around the truth.
Some are meant to wake up because of it.
And some will just get mad and call it “your tone.” 😉
