You don't need to be a mental health professional to know what people you care about have been through.

  But you probably do to make claims that someone's trauma wasn't traumatic enough for your standards

    I've made no such emotionally-charged and disrespectful claim. There are no such "standards" being discussed. I'm not sure why you've introduced the concept. The subject being discussed is this, when the person stated: > This is how you get rid of hypersensitivity after all, by exposure to whatever it is you're overly sensitive to. Avoiding exposure only increases the shock the next time you get exposed. They appear unaware that there are types of hypersensitivity that do not get better when exposed repeatedly and in fact become much worse and potentially life-threatening. The person goes on to appear to consider themselves a member of such a group whilst simultaneously claiming they are unaffected in the same way as other members of the group. But, the group being discussed, as I see it, is delineated precisely by being affected in that way. To resolve this contradiction, I'm attempting to precisely describe the group, their characteristics, the terms being used and what they mean to me at least, which appears to me to be information that person may be missing.
