And I don't mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.

What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

Aren't you saying the same thing with different wording? You had some trauma, now you are more sensitive.

I heard my father die because his throat cancer was blocking his airways, and the 10 weeks after, everytime someone's breath sounded raspy or non-optimal in some way, I would be reminded of his final moments. Is that a trigger or am I more sensitive to weird breathing noises? Or is that pretty much the same?

I wouldn't call it "overly sensitive". That is implying an insult 100%

I think my sensitivity is totally justified given what I went through.

not trying to insult anyone. To me that is overly sensitive. If you need trigger warnings you are overly sensitive. Its not a bad thing to be overly sensitive. I think if someone feel like they need trigger warnings what they actually need is therapy. Trigger warnings are not possible outside of circle jerking groups, get tough or get therapy until you can deal with your life without getting rekt because someone mentioned rape or whatever is your trauma. Best of luck.
