[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who brings up her (very serious, very bad) trauma in basically every social situation. It puts a damper on the mood and then the whole event kind of has this shadow hanging over it for the rest of the duration. I was thinking of talking to this person privately and suggesting that they get professional help. I want them to know that I care about them but that this is a bit inappropriate. Is this going to come off as selfish but I don't really know what else to do.[/quote]

If there is anything I've learned is that she speaks of this trauma bc it effected her deeply and now is a part of her life. I completely understand not wanting to hear it and she probably shoud to go therapy for it. But not everyone can  or does and they rely on friends to hear them out. It's hard to hear though for sure. My old friend had a miscarriage and it was the freaking saddest thing to hear, she told me everything.  I was starting to get depressed and it was so so so sad for her.[/quote]
