14、ng these causes can make us examine our behaviour, and correct bad habits.

However,

15、here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. _10_ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to ones personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psycho

16、logical imbalances.
