Hi Victoria, This is pretty difficult to understand without more context, but I'll do my best. The writing: "Can you at least tell me what went wrong? I can take anything. Unless it's something I did, or said, or am. 'Cause those are, like, my buttons." The meaning: Cause those are, like, my buttons. 1. First of all, "like" is just a filler word in this writing. It is similar to "um" or "ah" in that it gives the speaker time to think. 2. Secondly, "my buttons" seems like it might be referring to a family of idioms in English: * "Don't push my buttons" * "You're pushing my buttons" If that is the case, the writer probably means that these are sensitive areas for her/him. The writing seems like it is meant to be humorous, because the writer says they can take anything unless it is about anything she/he did, said, or is. I hope this helped! -Dustin

I'm not a teacher but I would say that in this context "button" means something a person is sensitive about and you criticizing them about that thing would make them mad. When someone says "You're pushing my buttons!" that means that you're annoying them and making them mad. Also, in your example the person is basically joking that they are very sensitive about everything. I hope this helps!
