If you mean, ‘upset’ or ‘distressed’- say that.

Not ‘trauma’ or ‘traumatic’.

————————————

If you mean ‘that makes me uncomfortable and I can’t articulate why.’

Say that.

Not “this is problematic.”

————————————

If you mean you were treated poorly or your feelings were hurt.

Say that.

Not “they are a narcissist or an abuser.”

————————————

If you mean “I don’t agree with you.”

Say that.

Not “you are a fascist.”

————————————

This is a mindless, brainless and very careless way of speaking. It dilutes the meaning of words.

There are real world consequences.
