Trauma Dumping

I'm calling BS on 'trauma dumping.'

You know, the idea that you need permission to share your struggles with others?

I used to buy into it, but after seeing how it's suffocated genuine connection, I'm done!

This mainstream 'woke' phrase has become a convenient way to shut down real conversations and avoid emotional intimacy. It's a nice way to keep us isolated, shame-filled, and questioning ourselves. But I'm not having it.

I refuse to participate in a culture that prioritizes performative empathy over actual human connection.

Instead of shaming people for sharing their struggles, how about we teach others to set boundaries?

If you don't want to hear about someone's issues, just say so. Problem solved.
