Most people don’t experience that, and if that were the case, it probably wouldn’t be what this screenshot is about. Not every slight is trauma, and it’s silly to act like everything is traumatic.

It is exactly the case. We have psychological ailments on the rise

it probably wouldn’t be what this screenshot is about.

Screenshot: "Hey, emotions, once broken, cannot be mended". You: "that's definitely not what this is about".

Genuine question: how does it feel to live a constant lie you are telling yourself?

I think you’re the one lying to yourself. Mental health issues are on the rise, but it’s not like most of the population sick (about 23% in the USA, according to NIH), and people exaggerate ALL THE TIME, that text could be a teenager blowing the smallest prank out of proportion.

Though, with all the people like you nowadays, I’m sure y’all would turn a falling ice cream cone into trauma, and ruin a friendship because the falling ice cream landed funny & your friend laughed.

Lol

diagnosed. now watch this: . This is not my field of expertise, so I won't even try to build the whole picture. Remind me again, who is lying here?

that text could be a teenager blowing the smallest prank out of proportion.

I don't care about the factual origin. The warning is true, and the idiotic attempt to run from the problem with "my plate is pastic" is exactly what you are doing

I’m sure y’all would turn a falling ice cream cone into trauma

Thanks for assumption about my psychological structure, now fuck off, idiot

Wow, someone still has some pieces to pick up before they can be mature about emotional vulnerability...

Just because the warning is true doesn’t mean it applies to everything. That leads to blowing everything out of proportion. That was my point, that the screenshot could just as much be blowing something out of proportion.
