Those traumatic events don’t have to be significant. Just some childhood “trauma” that they never coped with. And instead of learning to cope, they learned to wallow in victimology.
The media’s adulation of victim status and intersectionalism has created an environment where being a victim is celebrated, learning to cope is oppression and mental illness becomes contagious.
Depends on your trauma, most people don't realize that psychological abuse had physiological effects on the brain. PTSD literally causes a physical brain injury.
I was beaten multiple times daily and hard bullied for a school year, fucked me up but I eventually learned how to cope by fist fighting with the people who used to beat me.
Then I turned 27 had a kid, got a house, and started a new job with in an abusive environment. My kid had severe colic to the point where I slept 2-3 hours a day for 8 months while working full-time, taking care of my wife's post-pardum, and being told I was going to get fired 2-3 times a week because the other union workers didn't like me. (Spoiler alert I did nothing wrong so I kept the job for 4 years).
I had a nervous break down again. It's been 5 years and I'm only just starting to get my nerves back. It's fucked up.
