I think Aaron is referring more to the unreal expectations placed on people who experience shocking events. You'll hear things like "how can you still do this?"

I think Aaron is referring more to the unreal expectations placed on people who experience shocking events. You'll hear things like "how can you still do this?" Or being treated like not a person, but a vessel to receive the sympathy of others. The expectations of you being "fucked up" or "scarred" is imposed on you from others and is obnoxious, if I'm being honest.
I'd go easy on him, it sounds like he may have experienced that feeling recently.
- Swenrekcah 2y agoFair point, I didn’t think of that possibility. And I do agree, it is sometimes like people see those kinds of traumas experienced by other people as marketing opportunities for themselves.

Societal expectations of whether one ought to be traumatized play a huge part in whether people are traumatized. So all these people are making the problem worse.
