Indian Masterminds Stories

Any exam preparation process can be stressful and anxious. In these situations, students are likely to receive triggers from friends and social media, which can cloud their judgment and affect their studies.

During the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) preparations, an Indian Forest Officer (IFS) officer took to X (previously Twitter) to explain four reasons why students feel triggered. He also said that he felt the same way and offered advice on how students can deal with triggers.

“During UPSC prep, normal social media stuff and friend gossip used to trigger me. Still happens sometimes. Triggered: We all get triggered, some less, some more,” IFS officer Himanshu Tyagi wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday.

The first reason he felt was the student’s past experiences, and he suggested they note down the key events and heal them.

The second reason for getting triggered could be because of the dissatisfaction with the present scenario and the IFS officer urged students to analyse the root cause.

The third reason he said was comparison with others and he suggested students to accept who they were and feel grateful for what they had, to feel better.

The fourth and final reason that he felt led to students getting triggered was “distorted perception,” which can lead to getting irritated by normal things.\
