I find multiple conversations going on at the same time triggering. Where you can hear all of them going on but can’t really decipher any of them.

I avoid being off schedule and dealing with ■■■■■■■■. I would say my triggers are more like neurological switches. Of course they make it worse.
Not being in control of what is happening is my number one trigger. I am used to taking the lead, not only control. When I am stuck in a situation where I am powerless, I don’t like it. I feel more comfortable in anything else. An example is when I end up somewhere and I didn’t drive there. Not fun.
An example of taking control is when I not only choose to do something but I also lead by example, if not by position. Leadership positions don’t mean much to me. I care more about doing my thing than what others think of it. But nevertheless, I always end up leading in things I choose to do. Like in research or in class- I am always steps ahead and others notice and sometimes follow. I don’t even mean to do it, I just end up offering advice from my experience and being asked advice once people realize that I am good at whatever it is I am doing.
I say that because most of the time, I am found doing things that I not only choose to do, I am also good at them.
An example is being at a party at midnight. I surely not only drove there but usually drove other people there and am the DD. Control. Can leave when I want if I want.
Now not having drove would trigger me.
