> I don’t know where to draw the line on what constitutes trauma for someone else. It’s highly subjective. Yes, and unless things have changed, this is a key component of psychiatric diagnosis: Are you able to manage your life traumas in a healthy constructive way or not? If not, you may want to learn new techniques, use medication if there’s a biological component, etc. For a concrete example, the military’s research showed that some but not all combat veterans develop PTSD, and it seems like some are more able to manage the enormous stress. (Note that nobody goes back to their pre-combat state, all have to “deal” with the experience one way or another.)
