Looking at the list of phrases, I can identify two of the most offensive phrases to me, but I am adding the third:
Did we __________? (insert whatever – pay the power bill, buy milk, take something out for dinner). This phrase is a huge trigger for me because the person asking knows they didn’t do it or they wouldn’t be asking. I just don’t understand why they can’t just come out and ask if I did whatever they are inquiring about. To use the ‘we’ seems condescending to me, almost superior in a way. It makes me feel like I’m being talked down to. I don’t know why this is such a big trigger for me, but it is.
The two phrases I felt were the most offensive were “He looked deformed” and “That’s gay, why would you root for the Yankee’s”. I interpret
