People using terminology referencing abuse on this website with no trigger warnings (which I thought was a bit of a safe place) hurts me so much. I feel stupid and weak for not being able to handle what others should be able to handle (and there is one person in particular that I am annoyed with, but I am not comfortable with revealing their name).

I feel less of a want to use this website because of the fear of pain and frustration I feel towards myself (and maybe towards the people that use such terms, but I am not sure how much of the blame should really be put on them).

Have you tried broaching the subject directly to the people who use such language? Or do you feel they are perhaps doing it intentionally? Do you worry that if you do tell them it bothers you, that it will itself be stressful?
