Sometimes it feels impossible not to trauma dump because the trauma is the context. And it feels like I’m starting to feel like I don’t know what to say about anything anymore because to tie it into a personal anecdote would be a social faux pas…

What people have a hard time understanding is that, if your life is generally shitty in a lot of ways and has been for awhile, it isn’t really trauma dumping it’s just. Talking about your life the way most people do anyway. There is such a thing as trauma dumping esp if you’re expecting to be comforted by the person hearing it but like, it is what it is.

Also like most neurodivergent people (of multiple diagnoses I think) tend to related to things with personal anecdotes and neurotypical ppl often perceive that as you trying to shift focus onto yourself even if that isn’t the case. It helps to learn like, some basic phrases/discussion points and to practice it with someone you feel safe enough to make a social faux pas around and have them offer kind constructive feedback.

Yeah I definitely worry about that. I’m not really around anyone like that right now since I’m in a new place. I’ll keep looking though!
