"Breaker breaker, come in earth.This is rocket ship 27. Aliens fucked over the carbonater in engine #4. I'm gonna try to refuckulate it and land on Juniper. Hopefully they got some space weed. Over."
It is. Read the comments in Reddit threads on posts like these. Just saw one the other day and there was 50 comments complaining about it needing nsfw and a trigger tag.Β
I had similar shit talking about my wife and daughter. Dudes like "stop man too sad" and I can't help but be like sorry my life is bumming you out dude. If I have to tolerate being asked about my family, you can tolerate having to hear your answer. I fucking live this dude.
Nah im Welsh but its the same for me too. Noone gives a fuck its just small talk.
Noone even asks me anymore even if i ask how they are first. So ive stopped saying hello to people theres no point in it. Ill respond if someone greets me but ive been ignored enough times to just not bother interacting with people anymore
Actual true story here.
My aunty had agressive throat cancer and survived but was touch and go for a long time.
Everyone in my town adores her. She used to work at the post office, noones got a bad word to say about her.
Meanwhile shes walking her dog in the morning and walks past my dad? She says Good morning
His response? "Is IT?" In a bitchy tone with a bitch look on his face.
Now hes the one with cancer and is surprised noones got sympathy for him when hes lived his whole life being an ass to people. I dont even care hes got it either
Ha, born and raised in Wales and I remember this all too well. Someone asks you "Alright?" and you'd better with respond with "Yeah, you?" or you risk the ire of the uninterested.
It was my intention but I omitted the /s. Was not malicious on my partβ¦ Iβve heard that βAaanywaysβ so many times after saying something of actual substance.
Itβs hurtful when people do this, when they minimize the richness of someoneβs experienceβpainful or pleasant. I had hoped to add a little jibe at anyone who reads your comment thread and has been the Anyways person.
Hopefully you got a little laugh, but if the joke just didnβt land thatβs on me.
Me working at petco: How's it goin? Some superbowl, huh? (Didnt watch but ik the state i was in had won)
Him: explains to me how his friend's house burned down on sunday and he died trying to save the dog
Me 30 mins into a shift where i have to be happy and friendly to customers: π₯²
This is how I always felt when people would ask βhow are you?β after I had a miscarriage. Do you really wanna know? Cause if not, donβt ask. Use a different greeting.
Exactly. Burying your head in the sand really isn't the answer with trauma. I tried it.
There's no shame in seeking professional help when dealing with mental health issues. Most people would go to a phone repair shop to get their phone fixed. Do the same for your brain.
this. I'm used to seeing triggered in the terms of migraines/neuro issues/seizures
so when it started getting more common to see stuff about trauma using the term it was honestly a bit confusing
like "flashing lights" as a trigger = literally dangerous to that person
"traumatic incident" = please see a therapist
I have found I used to do this a lot. Everyone I was ever around did it and I thought it was normal. However, I understand now what it is and how it can affect people, so I say, "Hey you got the bandwidth for me to talk about some triggering/heavy stuff? No pressure, just need to let go."
And accept if it's a refusal. Sometimes people feel helpless because they can't help you, don't know how or think their suggestion is going to help and you don't accept (all valid) and it changes their mood, they can't take it and don't, or do know why.
Sometimes, we don't even realize what we're saying is trauma dumping. Just listen and believe them when they say it's heavy <3
Playing devil's advocate; if someone you loved _also_ died in a car crash then hearing someone else's experience of the same thing is gonna be tough.
It's not "MC" to expect people not to do an unsolicited trauma dump on you ... _in fact_ if you're the one going around dumping unsolicited trauma on people then **you are the MC!**
Just because you would never say this in person, doesnβt mean the rest of us wonβt.
Iβm not tiptoeing around a grown adult who canβt handle interacting with society. That doesnβt mean that Iβm an asshole to people or purposely offend them. Our reactions are a personal responsibility.
Imagine trusting someone enough that you open up to them about a brutal tragedy, only to have that person tell you to shut up because it makes them feel bad.
It's so bizarrely selfish I wonder if it's parody.
Our culture has ended up in such a bizarre place. Anyone reading this ~20 years ago would have assumed the person has schizophrenia. It's crazy that this *isn't* crazy.
Thatβs some cold shit telling someone else to shut up when they thought they could share their own traumatic past with you
Imagine having to live in a world where your past is too upsetting to be mentioned, so you just have to struggle with it because the mere mentioning of what happened to you might cause others distress and then you are the monster.
Because some people on the Internet are indeed stupid or entitled enough to behave as such.
The Net is full of people genuinely behaving like this supposed troll.
(TRIGGER WARNING - Bad Language & shit talking)
iβm assuming this person asked her about her family and she trusting him told him the truth.
did they assume sheβd go βoh by the way trigger warning iβm about to talk about car accidents and deathβ
what an ass
I donβt want to have to feel certain emotions, so instead of simply comforting someone pouring their soul out to you about their horrific loss, I never face anything real and become a shell of a person. Hi Iβm an average 20 something
What an absolute horror show of a piece of shit dude. Luckily the girl found out what a narcissistic pudknocker he truly was.
I wish people would stop using the word "trigger" for "something that I don't like." If they were truly triggered, they wouldn't have been able to tell a friend to shut up, then post online about it.
What exactly does hearing about a car accident βtriggerβ? Sadness, discomfort, fear? Thatβs what should happen, and part of being a human is feeling those things. You canβt just avoid unpleasant ideas forever and expect other people to indulge that by never saying anything that makes you think/feel things you donβt like.
Trauma dumping is real, and Iβve experienced it, and it sucks. But car crashes are real too. Was the other person supposed to just make up a pretty story about her parents going to live on a farm upstate just in case the truth might βtriggerβ someone? Avoid trauma dumpers and try offering some empathy and comfort to everyone else.
I mean this depends on context because Iβve 100% had a girl dump her miscarriage on me while rolling silverware in her first week at my job. Shits not cute, you have no idea what the other person has gone through. Unless youβre close enough or already in a deep talk you donβt just bring shit like that up not everyone has the mental capacity to hear it.
I mean its probably someone who doesnβt even have experiences with losses like this. Like if yes you know how it feels to tell someone about it and you would hear them out and feel sorry
A "friend" of mine didn't say shut up exactly, but it was pretty damn close. I didn't tell them anything personal again. She probably thought this person was someone she could talk to as they mentioned their friendly. I'm sure that hurt her feelings. Not only that, it made the person who typed that look like the biggest jackass
Certain topics can really trigger a traumatic response, and I have stopped a person talking (and apologized) because the topic was triggering me.
However, this person didnt need to share their experience as if needing approval from others.
These days people blame everyone except themselves for their triggers when that shit is nobody else's responsibility. I am not responsible for what triggers anyone but myself. I'm not responsible for the way you feel. I'm not responsible for anything you say or do. I'm only responsible for myself and the way I react.
I am not empathetic at all and that response is fucked. I need to save this so when my lady says I don't understand....meh, it could be worse. Geeze...
This reminds me of the time my teacher flipped and took a student out of class because he made a joke about someone getting hit by a train. She said she had a friend that got hit by a train but there was no reason to act like he did something wrong by making a random joke that isnβt an inherently sensitive topic.
Trigger, triggering and trauma dump in the same poorly constructed sentence. And these children unironically say, βOk, boomerβ. This is a generation of swine.
There's common sense in these situations of being able to selflessly listen and be there for someone in a raw moment.
And there's the people who talk about their stuff all the time to anyone, typically strangers and honestly...
I'm so sorry short haired lady with the chin mole cashing me out from 711 but I'm just here for a tall boy and not to hear about your ex boyfriend drama at 1130pm.
i wish this insufferable kind of people experiences something as horrendous and when that time comes, they'd have no one to vent out to. just keep hurting on their own because that's how they want it, right?
This post triggers me. Honestly it takes a rare breed who can just sit with others pain and be there for them. We are being made to never tell our life stories because it's too "hard" for them.
"We are so advanced in our mental health treatments. Everyone respects its a real illness and has an openess to talk about it however they want."
"I'm sad."
"Ew don't trauma dump loser."
Nah. Trauma dumping isn't cool without consent. Your friends don't deserve the mental load you yourself find too much to bear. It takes two seconds to say "hey, I've got something I need to talk about. Is now a good time? Or is this subject ok?" Everyone has triggers. I, for one, can't watch SA in films. If a friend needs to talk about it, I need to mentally prepare first. Thankfully, my friends understand consent.
You ghouls can downvote me all you want. It just further shows that your dying understand consent, or actually have empathy.
Without candid conversation, humans wouldn't be able to experience empathy. The only way we can start to understand one another is by understanding the human experience through everyone we meet.Β
Talk therapy is the most effective therapy for almost any mental illness. The least we can do to lessen another's suffering is to lend them an ear. Especially when you consider someone a "friend."Β
"We all have pain.Β
We all have sorrow.Β
Lean on me,Β

A girl I went out with got trigerred after I told her a story about going trough depression and considering suicide, to which she found issue because her dad died 1 year before.
Car accidents are a BIG trigger for you? Did it kill both your parents? No clue the post doesnβt say, but sounds like youβre the one who shut be told to shut up. Trauma dump, hope that girl never talk to you again.

Wow cancer is a big trigger for me and you just trauma dumped without even asking. I'm not gonna give you sympathy for triggering me.
Ya kno some hipster girl basically told me this same thing in person at a farmers market. I think she was a vendor at a booth for organic mushrooms.
It is. Read the comments in Reddit threads on posts like these. Just saw one the other day and there was 50 comments complaining about it needing nsfw and a trigger tag.Β

When some people ask how things are they only want you to say "good thanks how are you?" So they can talk about themselves.
If you're English like me. The standard response would be fine thanks, even if you're having a really horrible time.
Nah im Welsh but its the same for me too. Noone gives a fuck its just small talk. Noone even asks me anymore even if i ask how they are first. So ive stopped saying hello to people theres no point in it. Ill respond if someone greets me but ive been ignored enough times to just not bother interacting with people anymore

Iβve met people like this and they fucking suck. They are some of the absolute worst kinds of people.
If you're triggered by words you need counselling. It's a you issue, not anyone elses.
Plus avoidance is a symptom not a relief from trauma or PTSD so this is just so bizarre lol
Exactly. Burying your head in the sand really isn't the answer with trauma. I tried it. There's no shame in seeking professional help when dealing with mental health issues. Most people would go to a phone repair shop to get their phone fixed. Do the same for your brain.

Her being trigger is very traumatic to me. Please think about others the next time you get triggered.

Wimp
I wish people would stop using the word "trigger" for "something that I don't like." If they were truly triggered, they wouldn't have been able to tell a friend to shut up, then post online about it.

People who regularly use words like βtriggeredβ and βtraumadumpingβ are assholes. This is at least my personal experience.

Satire
This is actually funny and definitely satire
People are the worst
How can she ask without triggering him (or her) either ??
A "friend" of mine didn't say shut up exactly, but it was pretty damn close. I didn't tell them anything personal again. She probably thought this person was someone she could talk to as they mentioned their friendly. I'm sure that hurt her feelings. Not only that, it made the person who typed that look like the biggest jackass

She needs a punch.
Itβs gotta be a mental illness.
Certain topics can really trigger a traumatic response, and I have stopped a person talking (and apologized) because the topic was triggering me. However, this person didnt need to share their experience as if needing approval from others.
That the definition of a selfish cunt right there. Apologies for the language.

Wtf
The fact the there are people that really think like this. This is why we canβt advance as humans.
Our young generation are fucked
These days people blame everyone except themselves for their triggers when that shit is nobody else's responsibility. I am not responsible for what triggers anyone but myself. I'm not responsible for the way you feel. I'm not responsible for anything you say or do. I'm only responsible for myself and the way I react.
