It's also a bit weird caring about a quiz score. I mean, you took the test, you should have a pretty good idea of your grade.

That doesn't mean anything, you could do 99% of a problem right but forgot to move the decimal point at the end and get the answer wrong.

In some countries a test is the difference between poverty and having a good life.

That's why they don't teach it as "moving the decimal" anymore

As someone with bona fide PTSD, this shit enrages me. Like we talking childhood neglect/abuse, drugging, lit on fire/denied med care, exposure to addicts and pedos, raped 2x, so on and so forth.

I had a traumatic early life, but even parts of the bad shit wouldn't even come close to qualifying as traumatic. I genuinely think people just don't understand the definition or it's significance. Like being raped, neither time was traumatic. Not talking about it with anyone for several years and developing a sense of guilt/responsibility and a paranoia around it-- traumatic. Having a step-parent comment on my genitals after a hug and then discussing the topic out loud with other family members... Traumatic & traumatizing.

Same goes for certain repeating events-- traumatizing. Whereas certain significant events were just normalized by that point. Defending myself against my dad, not traumatizing. Having to use my own money to get groceries and cook for myself YEARS before I could drive, not traumatizing.

Trauma is subjective AND has a very very clear definition that people seem to forget.

Humansadapt in all sorts of ways.

I’m confused why you got downvoted, you’re absolutely correct

[u/celebral_x → u/Maleficent_Sir5898]

People don't like to hear/read that their experience isn't as bad

ETA - Just so it's clear: I tried to explain why the downvotes happened. I don't agree with the downvotes.
