What’s something that doesn’t trigger others but triggers you?
I find pimple popping videos repulsive. For some reason they’re really liked by some people I’ve met
I also don’t like ASMR videos at all

understandable
I can’t think of anything right now i’ll just have to wait until I think of something good
I’m fine with loud metallic sounds but the sounds and feelings of metal cutlery when they graze dishes and each other trigger me
Something without at least 2 variants/alternatives/sub-branches. Accessories with symmetrical design

When people call me “Chinese Australian” in public.
Not that there’s anything wrong with being Chinese Australian, but I very much prefer being called JUST Australian, because I am an Australian (not as in, I want to be white or something but like, the “Chinese” part somehow annoys me a tad bit. I’m sure I got many people confused. It’s hard to explain.)
Very weird I know. But overall it doesn’t throw me off at all (Very rarely can something set me off or trigger me)
Screeching noises, like wet rubber on floors. Or loud sounds, groups of people talking, etc. just absolutely could not stand it. Remember once how in my middle school there was this one kid who squeaked his shoes intentionally, and I tried to throw a kick at him for it.
(I was nowhere near a decent person at age 9-12.)
I have CPTSD so my list is STRANGE
Certain kid shows literally make me feel tense, because watching them was a risk.
I can’t handle feeling wet food. I’m fine with anything else around food, but wet food? nope.
Also, people deciding, that, as a jew, I MUST have a certain opinion on Israel! I do not know enough about it. I’m not even ORTHODOX, I’m the type that can demolish bacon.
Also, loud noises, people looming over me while close, and being in people’s basements.

I DESPISE the sound of humming. Something about it makes me feel like my eardrums are melting.
I am also usually seated next to people who do that in school.
Add casual singing to that list, too; it sounds even worse.
Surprising question, but a special from my view. A bunch of yap about conditions
Summary
So as someone with conditions
that make me more sensitive to sensory input (misophonia and tourettes), the list isn’t clear. The most common source of triggers come from people, this be the way someone talks or what they’re doing. Repeating phrases or saying something with a particular tone can become very upsetting for me. Other noises like clicking, popping, tapping, etc. can also be very hard to deal with.
Now, it’s absolutely normal for these things to be irritating to some people, but where this becomes a problem is when the stress caused is too high. In my personal experience with misophonia, noises go past being irritating, becoming disorienting and bringing anxiety or anger. At worst, normal noises become physically painful; I can compare it most to a pipe cleaner being shoved violently down the sides of my neck.
Where tourettes comes into this is that it can also be triggered by stuff. Certain movements or phrases can cause a tic or even become one itself. If I’m stressed out, outside stimuli can cause me to have more tics than usual. This stress, in combination with misophonia making noises more distressing, can lead to my auditory world being miserable. Thankfully, this doesn’t impact me too much and I’m able to find ways to distract myself.
For my more ambiguous list; the smell of sauces, people breathing on me, ok really any smell, warm chairs (I CANNOT sit down in a chair someone was sitting in before, I have to wait), velvet, and scratching parts of a head.
For the more social side, people that are constantly aggressive even as a joke, “I’m jwust a poor sad guy I’m sorry about always being a downer 
” (it’s incredibly toxic and harmful as a personality, it rejects serious conversations into emotional guilt), and people that constantly use pictures/drawings of themselves as reaction images/emojis (I don’t have any real justification for this, maybe it just feels egotistical? Dw tobi ur fine mwa 
)
Animation memes
It isn’t the little thingamajigs themselves it’s just the names man like I be trying to look up “meme animations” of youtube to find some… animated memes… memes that have been animated and stuff… but all I find are animation memes like man I want to find some hilarious animated version of memes I don’t what ever these are
people yapping while i’m trying to do my work in french class
like dawg do you know how hard it is to think in another language when everyone else is talking at full volume in english
Yknow those “3D” lenticular cards that change the image when you move them around? When someone scratches the plastic on them it makes this terrible zipping sort of sound that makes me want to throw myself down the stairs
When I was in elementary and middle school supplies with this type of material was popular at the time so I’d constantly hear kids scratching on them for fun whenever I went to class

when someone insult me as a “joke”
i mean in certain situation i do find it funny, but i find it annoying and genuiely disrespectful when people make fun of me when i was being in serious topic.
The word “meme” in the animation meme context is a repeated word or idea shared from one individual to another (the original meaning for the word meme).
Every le funny meme you see is a meme traditionally, as it’s a shared idea from one another to the point everyone can have a shared agreement that they’re funny, but not all memes are memes.
Language evolution can be quite weird sometimes and I can see where your confusion and frustration coming from…
As a person who was diagnosed with ASD
There is something that irks me when there are many sounds that conflict to one another. It’s not that I hate loud noises, but it’s more about how too many sources of different sounds can lead me to lose my mind as it felt like my brain get fried from too many information at once.
idk if this is common or not but the sound of velcro is so unpleasant to me, whenever I hear that ripping sound it “feels” like my ear/brain is being tickled in an uncomfortable way
SAME if a fork or knife rubs against another piece or cutlery or a ceramic bowl and makes that screeching noise it makes me want to turn myself inside out

People yapping when there’s people trying to work in general pisses me off. I had an assignment in Creative Writing that I had severe writer’s block on, and I was trying to think of something, ANYTHING to work with, while the annoying group of jocks on my teacher’s couch were talkin like there was going to be no tomorrow.
Sounds like it’d be worse in language classes. I’ve heard horror stories about how hard it is to learn French specifically.
me too
same even though that sort of defeats the point of the topic
