Feeling Forced to Expose My Past Sins

If you have committed a sin, realized and repented of it, and then asked Allah’s forgiveness, you have taken the most important steps.

If you feel uncomfortable, just let them know and know that others need to respect your choice.

How do you deal with a situation like this without being triggered?
