[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] I’m someone with a trauma history like this. She probably won’t react well if you tell her that and will become defensive, but it’s the truth. It’s not appropriate to spill your trauma compulsively in every social situation. If she doesn’t get professional help (or change providers, if she currently has one), she’s not going to have friends because people aren’t going to want to be around her.[/quote]
