A lot of people these days are quick to self diagnosis their own “trauma”, to the point that any negative or scary thing that occurred to them in the past could be a candidate for “trauma”. I’m sure this has the effect of minimizing people with actual trauma.
- guipsp 4y agoI'm sure claiming that people's trauma is fake minimises people's trauma way more than any "fake trauma" that might actually exist in society.
- faeriechangling 4y agoI find the concept of gatekeeping who has been traumatized or not to be incredibly scientifically dubious and the only reason we have such a notion as some people facing real trauma and some people being drama queens is that it’s socially useful for the efficient allocation of societal resources. All people suffer some degree of trauma, even if it’s something as pedestrian as a loved one dying.
