People think that trauma manifests as like a person sitting in a room in the fetal position all day sobbing and it can be and at times it is but trauma can also look like reckless behavior, hypersexuality, numbness, jokes, pretending it didn’t happen at all. It’s always unique
You walk by people with trauma inside of them that would make you have nightmares every day at the store and you would have no idea. Some of the most productive people you know have horror stories. Some of the “laziest”people you know do too. And even your fun friends.
I think it’s best to just assume that the majority of people that you interact with have something horrible inside of them. And it’s probably a fair assessment. There’s always a reason for why people act the ways they do. It’s no an excuse but it’s something to consider.
Me being transparent about my own trauma has opened the door for so many of my followers and a lot of times complete strangers to open up to me in my dms and you wouldn’t believe the things that others carry around in them. It’s really opened my eyes so much.
