[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in this friend's situation. My solution was to stop talking to people. Trauma is isolating. People don't understand, and though they love to think of themselves as lovely and caring, they're really just great big hypocrites.

Such a shame about your mood having been brought down, though, right?[/quote]

I’m doing this now.

Sorry my annoying life is a bummer, man. I didn’t mean to lose everything. But I did. Whomp whomp. I’ve learned that it’s easier to avoid people than risk being a “bummer” at a party. Traumas effects are so far flung. [/quote]

Your desperation for attention is what’s driving people away from you.

Get therapy. The end.[/quote]

Trust me.’ Attention is the last thing people who are suffering want. I don’t think you’re receptive to hearing from trauma survivors so I’ll save my breath. [/quote]

This thread is about someone who brings up her trauma to people she barely knows at completely inappropriate times (ie game night).  She’s obviously looking for attention. Not sure why you can’t understand that everyone handles trauma differently. [/quote]

Things that are obvious to you aren’t obvious to me. When I’m bringing it up it’s usually as a way of making an excuse for myself. I know my loss is a bummer and makes me seem sad. I know I’m a bummer just by my presence! I’ll stay away.[/quote]

That last line is more fishing for pity. Oh, poor me. No one wants me to dump my trauma all over them at all times. Dramatic sigh.[/quote]
