Got triggered by something small today

I’m with someone who is genuinely very good to me. He makes time for me, calmly handles my 1000 overthinking questions, never gets angry or irritated, and is genuinely consistent and caring and loving too. I have no reason to think he’s fake or a bad person.

But today I noticed he had liked some pictures of another girl, and it triggered me really badly. I felt sick and extremely disappointed, especially because I have a hard time trusting people and had finally started trusting him.

I know it may sound small, and I know I’m probably reacting more strongly because I had really worst experiences in past also I’m emotionally attached and PMSing, but it brought up so many feelings around trust and being disappointed.

He has chose me everyday no doubt reassures me can't make him a totally bad person too he is too trying to change his such bad habits from his past.

I don’t even understand why this triggered me so much. I just want to understand these emotional triggers and learn how to deal with them without immediately assuming the worst.

Also I'm already dealing with my mental health plus severe migraine.

You can try to meditate, life is too short, try to hold on to the positive thoughts, good sides of life. You can express your feelings to him when you are calmer, how this behavior of him makes you feel. It is actually small, maybe it was a misclick. Maybe it does not mean anything at all, maybe there is an explanation. At the very and, you don't need anyone but yourself.
