“At least my trauma made me funny” No it didn’t babe, you’re just trauma dumping on people and they’re laughing cause they’re uncomfortable. You’re killing everyone’s vibe. You should be in therapy, not making jokes about your dead mom.

You just have to be funny but not about the trauma just act like bubbly and dumb and shallow and it won’t even occur to anybody that you’ve had anything happen at all

My trauma gave me dark humor but I don’t bring up the trauma if that makes sense? Like I don’t trauma dump as a joke .

Hate it when they try to make it a competition too, like “well if you think that was bad for you then guess what happened to me!”

Unfortunately I think I am that person sometimes 😭 BUT it's unintentional like there have been times where I'll be telling a story from my childhood that I didn't even find traumatic/abnormal and my friend tells me to stop trauma dumping 🥲 like I thought we were just having a conversation

It’s one thing if you like completely are oblivious to the vibe of the room and no one is also cool with it being shared like that like I think it’s normal when it’s friends and it’s like determined you guys can be like that

Maybe she didn’t mean it , especially if everyone was drinking and she got carried away or smt.

Idk 🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe it’s just a misunderstanding. I wouldn’t be to hard on her about it.

I asked a friend recently if I had ever told them about something that happened to me and she was like “you did tell me, I feel like I forget because it’s so bizarre and you play it off so well” I try to be the jester, it’s quite fun. It’s interesting to see close friends reaction when I eventually tell them about something from the past, I guess I do play it off well lol
