Why do some people think it is so easy to get over traumatizing stuff from the past?

[Prinny2]

I swear that some people can be so insensitive. It’s like some people think that everyone had it easy and they are just complaining. Why are some people like that? It seriously upsets me when someone says stuff like that. They don’t know what I’ve been through.

I don't think they think it's easy to get over. I think most people just think hey, I've dealt with some traumas to. And you don't see me making excuses.
Also think of it like an illness. If there's one thing I've learned in life. People will feel sympathy for you if you're dealing with an illness. But if you're not getting g better they get mad at you lol. I don't even think it's that they think you're faking. It's just they don't know how to deal with something chronic that can't just be fixed with a pill. This is why the mentally ill get ignored and marginalized in our country. Because the medication for it isn't an exact science. No one wants to deal with it till one kills a bunch of people.

It is impossible to know what you're going through without experiencing it oneself. But you're right, it's still no reason to be insensitive to your plight.

[Prinny2]

I do get they don’t understand. But they also don’t even try to understand it is hard for me.

Thank you for selecting my answer.

If people truly think like this it's for several reasons...
1. They have never experienced trauma and can't relate to the situation
2. They are insensitive and/or lack empathy
3. Or they are just narrow-minded and see everything in black & white. And nothing in life is black and white.

[Prinny2]

It actually really hurts a lot when people do it

[Secret6620]

I agree. It's not a very nice feeling all. I wish you the best

[Secret6620]

Yay! Most helpful girl. I hope all is better.

They lack empathy, emotional intelligence and patience for other people's emotional reactions, either because they've never been through a similar experience in their life, or in some cases they might suffer from some mental condition, such as sociopathy/antisocial personality disorder

[Prinny2]

Thank you for your post

[ChrisMaster69]

Because they have either not been through the same or they are not able to empathise with the other person.

everyone’s past trauma and mental health is different, what is mild for one person may be really critical for another.

this is why it’s always best to see and talk to a professional

[Birdlegs]

Cuz you also don’t know what they been through. Some people have gone through absolute tragedies and took it on the chin and then they see someone else whining about their experience and they have no sympathy for them.

[Prinny2]

Who has no sympathy for them. You are making a big assumption

[Birdlegs]

This is just a situation that fulfills your question don’t read too deep.

[JamesDiaz11]

It's probably because young people are so insanely weak that anything negative that happens is the worst thing ever, and "traumatizing." It's also because they bring up their trauma as a badge of honor, and get out of jail free card; so, to the objective person it seems disingenuous.

[Prinny2]

I guess you are the perfect example. You have no idea what happened and you sit here and claim to know how people feel and what they do.

[JamesDiaz11]

"You have no idea..." blah blah blah. Who cares, that's your issue- it's nobody else to care about or deal with. It's a measure of an adult to deal with the things that happen, and have happened to them. So, the fact of the matter is IT DOESN'T MATTER.

[Prinny2]

Why? Because you say so. What doesn’t matter is your opinion. And you are just a loser. So nobody can have anything happen that can upset them or make them unhappy? You are a horrible person.

[JamesDiaz11]

Sounds like some weird pathology you have- anybody who doesn't entertain your "trauma" must be a horrible person... sure.

[Prinny2]

Please. You know nothing. You just sit in judgement over people. You’re the one with a pathology. You need to feel superior to others.

[Prinny2]

And I don’t want people to treat me like a victim. But I don’t want to pretend stuff didn’t happen. Like I said. You know nothing.

[JamesDiaz11]

Wah- here's your tissue...

[Prinny2]

Please! You couldn’t handle what I’ve been through.

[Avicenna]

It’s probably hard for them to understand if they haven’t experienced that kind of trauma

[Prinny2]

I do get that. But it’s like they totally write off what I’ve been through.

[Avicenna]

That's rude
