I don't know about being triggered but I do feel jelly when I see couples in real life or even in movies, especially if they are being affectionate. Sometimes I feel a touch of anger too.

A movie or TV show? Sex scene?

Uhhh no. I can't say it bothers me. Most I could ever feel from that is a half chub.

When it comes to real life. I'm generally happy for people, honestly. Especially if they seem really into each other. For some reason that sort of changed in me. It used to get on my nerves, I hated seeing it IRL. It just sparked this unreasonable butthurt anger. It legitimately made me want to kill people sometimes. In that angsty teen sort of way.

Now I just feel happy for people, y'know. There's no reason to hate them or get so affected by their lives. Some drunk dude in a taxi rolled past me today after work. He was clearly talking some shit and gave me the finger. I found it hilarious and laughed because it was random as fuck.

Couple meters down the street a bunch of dudes, also clearly drunk after a night out(Twas morning). One of them stopped me and went like "Hey you know this," and then dabbed. I mean honestly I found it fucking hilarious and laughed. I mean why wouldn't you. It's not even the dab, he could've done the MC Hammer and it would've been funny.

I now love Lisbon. I mean the random drug dealers trying to sell you cocaine and weed. They ain't got no AA under their belt. Gotta love their determination because people just walk past them. One was actually really damn friendly so I didn't outright ignore the guy.

I love the drunkards all cheerful going "EYYYY" at you as you walk past them. The stoners all chill and smooth asking for smokes to get a spliff going. I mean I just love people even if they're talking shit and giving me the finger in a passing cab. I find it all funny. How you look at people reflects on how you feel about them and the things they do.

I know that before I would've been really uncomfortable in those situations, really overthinking it like "were they making fun of me. Were they this or that. Fucking cunts I want to kill them." Now I was simply amused by their actions so I laughed because laughing. You get a genuine reason to laugh, you laugh.

Same thing with children and babies. I used to want to punt them every time I saw some 4 year old walking around. But now? No. For some unexplained reason one time I even teared up when I saw a dad playing football(soccer) with his like... 6 year old son.

But bottom line is, feelings like those stem from a bunch of different emotions like frustration, bitterness, loneliness and so on. How "triggered" you get will depend on how deep and far those emotions have power over you. How frustrated you are. How lonely you are and bla bla bla.

Another thing is that seeing others with something you really want but just find... daunting to acquire brings out your insecurities and your fears.

Try to see things in a different light. Try to be happy for people. I mean I can tell you right away that being happy for people's happiness will make you happier. Just like being bitter about people's happiness will make you more bitter.

And in general you can see their happiness as just one more reason to pursue your own. "If they can then shit... why can't I?"

I'll always remember that weird couple I saw one time at my bus stop. Dude was the most average mofo on the planet. His girlfriend was a hot diva type girl. Really fancy way of dressing and just really good looking and well kept. They maintained an unbroken... 5 minute long kiss on the bus. Smiling to each other between each session. You could tell they were happy. And I saw that because I sat behind them.

Don't be bitter. Don't be angry. It's a waste of energy and time.

I get a little jealous when my friends in relationships talk about the cute things they do together or the fun things they try in bed, but never angry. You might want to talk to someone about the anger you're feeling.

If your point of reference comes down to movies, your vision of sex is unfortunately extremely flawed.

Hollywood's job is to "sell dreams" to people. It's not an accurate representation of how the real world works. Those trying to follow what the movie industry "teaches" are the ones who'll generally fail.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but that's the reality.
