Trauma culture is feeling like everybody thinks your boundaries are a joke and your anger and distress are the punchline

Childhood trauma culture is not seeing a future for yourself because you spent your entire life focusing on surviving in the moment and never got to dream or plan for the future. Now it all feels like a burden and scares you so much because you dont know how to plan for the future.

trauma culture is being like "oh that was fucked up and traumatizing" but also purposefully keeping yourself distanced from it (emotionally and memory wise) so you don't have to Feel things about it

childhood trauma culture is having people complement you by saying stuff like "you're so emotionally mature for your age" or "wow you could work as a therapist" and it not feeling like a complement at all, more like a slap in the face and a reminder of how you didn't get to be a child or have a normal/healthy childhood, especially when the "complement" comes from the parents who abused you in the first place. like yeah I had to be grown-up to survive what you put me through.

trauma culture is crying when people are kind and supportive towards you

Trauma Culture is hating loud voices and screaming and cursing in real life but not hating it when it's in songs and musical

Trauma culture is taking small lighthearted jokes/digs on you way too seriously and personally because you're so used to being belittled and you're sick and tired of it and the last thing you want is to experience it from loved ones too

trauma culture is not believing anyone has time for you unless they literally show you they know what you like and have the time in their lives for that
