Dont Trauma Dump on Strangers
3 years ago
☾✩ Please don't randomly add people because you share similar servers and trauma dump on them right away. Like
"Hey how are you?"
"Im good, hbu"
"well basically my life is a spiraling abyss---"
its massively uncomfortable for me and puts me in a position because obviously I dont wanna make this kid feel worse but
Its simply not my job to fill a therapists roll for a stranger.
I have never spoken to them before this point; he reacted with an emoji to one of my art pieces one time
Please dont trauma dump on strangers ;A;

"That's rough buddy" 😬😬
and looking back at how much I tolerated up until this point is wild.
Being empathetic is wild but we gotta put up our own boundaries and enforce them even if it feels gross at first Dx
Amen on finding the will to raise those boundaries and keep them up no matter what!
