    no, i think a trigger is something that gives you the urge to be angry about something right now.

    a glimmer would give you a feeling of content-ness, but it lasts longer. like maybe a few seconds or hours.

      I have already explained myself so simply copy pasting:

      How hard is it to accept that OP messed up instead of throwing objectively wrong word salad? Your whole argument is like someone trying to claim that cents are not money because they can’t be used to buy big things.

      Triggers are anything that initiates a reaction or event, regardless of their intensity. They are independent of how they are perceived, whether positively or negatively. Triggers have developed a tendency toward negativity due to their rising connection to negative events.

      Glimmers are, at best, a specific type of positive trigger with added context.

      Another example can be reading my reply. If you were curious about this whole thing, you would be TRIGGERED to feel happy or excited that you learned something new, and this would become your GLIMMER. On the other hand, if you were argumentative, you would be TRIGGERED to feel bad that some random person on the internet does not agree with your definition, which would fulfill your definition of triggers.

      This thread can be a glimpse of Orwellian doublethink horror.
