[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - for the people who say I am selfish, why is that? It isn’t that I am not acknowledging these are horrible things or don’t think we should impose change. I just don’t carry it with me. I have volunteered and donated money to combat these issues.

I also don’t think it is a privilege thing - for instance, I understand the impact of RBJ open seat and Trump getting another seat. I am woman. I would never use the word traumatic though or let it bring me down for more than a few hours. [/quote]

I am so like you, OP. I'm curious; how did you feel about 9-11? I am with you in not carrying stuff around with me, and I knew when it happened that it didn't/wouldn't personally affect me in the way it affected other people. Even at the time, people (who didn't lose anyone they knew) were saying nothing would ever be the same for them. The closest I personally was to it was an acquaintance's dad died, which is very sad, but I felt the same level of sad for her as I would have if he had died in a car crash, etc.. I can move on easily from an acquaintance's dad dying in a car crash and 9-11 was the same for me.
