Glimmer and how

We are all supposed to be glimmering. How and why we are constantly triggered instead.

Glimmers are moments when we feel calm and happy.

The situations can be the ones that constantly trigger you, a sure short fix to it, move away or avoid the situation. That makes you a constant fleeter and can alienate you or make you a recluse. The other way around is to move away till the trigger exists and then come back to it when you are glimmering. It is a big effort because the trigger levels can reduce or increase depending on your state and the situation's intensity. But there is a glimmer of hope for it not to trigger you at one point for sure.

Narrowing a little more, the one which is triggering could be an action of a person. A request could be made to the person to avoid that action, the most sane of them. But how that request is made, it could be made as a reaction to action, could be in aggression. It could essay into a lot of other reactions on both sides. So choosing the battle is what I have learned, is not worth your sanity. Or move the war to another time for more less self-destruction moves.

The request could be made as a response to the action, that's a calmer way of conveying the same and would be well thought of too. That could be done only if the receiving end is a good receptor to perspective. Let's please stick to reaction in those cases when the receptor requires that ultimate aggressive one. Although this has some effects on your end as well as you tend to get hurt inside too.

Now a person as a whole keeps you away from your glimmer. The thought, the sight of that person triggers you. As of now, the only thing I know to do is not to be in the same space as the person. There can be a better zenner way to handle this and retain your glimmer, but yet to find.
