I'm a trauma victim do you think not being taken seriously is common for trauma victims?

Almost like they're dismissed/not believed.

I was abused by my older sister when I was 12 she was 18. My mother said she was too sweet to do that and I would get in trouble for making up lies about my precious sister. My sister hated me and still does because I'm a boy.

i don't think the dismissiveness comes from "not believing" i think it comes more from "not being prepared to deal with that.

[genericname85]

it's like if someone confronts you with their trauma, what do you do? there's no real societally acceptable way to handle this. so people rather just avoid it alltogether.

[boggboss]

Yeah its pretty common

[Asker]

Why though?

[boggboss]

From anything from not being able to understand to simply believing the person is lying

[Asker]

Why would the person be lying i never understood this part.

[boggboss]

Some people lie about anything there have been cases of people lying about trauma to get pitty before

[Asker]

Why would anyone lie about something as serious as trauma

[boggboss]

For personal or monetary gain so people can feel sorry for themself some people simply don't care

[PrettyPriya]

Asker is spamming this.

Why are trauma victims not believed? ↗

[Asker]

[boggboss]

No need to be rude it is against sure rules to spam the same question

[PrettyPriya]

How about you not spam the community? Amazing the anons that think this is my first go as a moderator.

[Agape93]

It's very common

[Asker]

Why? I don't understand

[Agape93]

They don't care or understand because they have no frame to base any empathy on

[PrettyPriya]

She is a spammer and not a happy one being caught if you look at the other opinion. The anons still think they can tag me. Sigh.
