“Triggered” is an internet slang term used to describe when someone becomes excessively upset, angry, or emotionally overwhelmed in response to a particular topic, comment, or situation. It implies that the individual’s emotional reaction has been provoked and intensified beyond what would typically be considered reasonable or proportionate.
Two practical examples illustrating the use of “triggered” in sentences:
1. Sarah gets triggered whenever someone criticizes her favorite TV show. She becomes extremely defensive and starts arguing fiercely to protect her show’s reputation.
2. Mike posted a harmless joke about cats, but it triggered Amy, who has a traumatic experience with cats. Amy started sharing her negative experiences, crying, and demanding that the joke be taken down.
