Cognitive Trivialism

The belief that all human problems, emotions, and experiences can be reduced to needing therapy, needing medication, or fitting into a psychiatric diagnosis. Cognitive trivialism flattens the complexity of human existence into clinical categories: grief is depression, political anger is delusion, existential confusion is anxiety, different thinking is schizophrenia. It's the intellectual equivalent of a hammer seeing everything as nails—every human difficulty becomes a disorder requiring professional intervention. This worldview is comforting to those who hold it (complexity is reduced to simple labels) and devastating to those subjected to it (their genuine experiences are pathologized, their valid concerns dismissed as symptoms).

Example: "When she expressed anger about social injustice, he responded with cognitive trivialism: 'You're clearly projecting your childhood trauma. Have you considered therapy?' Her political analysis was reduced to personal pathology; her valid anger became a symptom. Cognitive trivialism had done its work: dismissing substance by pathologizing emotion."

Trialism

The perception of difficult life events and misfortune as being a beneficial challenge to overcome, and therefore useful to your own personal development. The antithesis of Nihilism.

At first Sisyphus could not see any point in pushing his boulder for eternity, but then in a state of trialism, realized that there may be a meaning to his circumstance.

trivialities 

Trivialities are all the not very important things in life that we are put through to question in our life. But when it all comes down to it, they don't really matter.

Who cares a hundred years from now? Who'll remember all the players? Who'll remember all the clowns? What are you going to do and what does this life really mean? Well, when it all comes down..we're just cycling trivialities.

tribianism 

(noun) The act of female/female sexual congress where the two sets of vulvae are rubbed together stimulating the sensitive perineum, pair of labia minora, and clitoris. ~ can be performed face-to-face with an explicit emphasis on clitoral stimulation, or ~ can be performed where one female has rotated her pelvis so that the legs of the two slot into one another as in scissoring.

The two lustful women writhed in the throes of tribianism as their eager partners watched with mounting temptation.

political tribalism 

A term that describes the underlying and sometimes secret loyalties that exist in politics, beyond the public eye.

The truth of political tribalism runs like a thread through the relationships of those in power; with Republicans right now, it’s primarily belief in white supremacy that drives the party and their devotion to 45.

tribiadism

Tribiadism (also known as tribadism or scissoring) is a form of lesbianism. In tribiadism two or more females will rub their vulva's against each other while being entangled with/into each other. The rubbing may involve female to female genital contact, but may also be against other body parts. When the woman squirts, the liquid is usually used as lubricant. Also, women may engage in tribiadism while they menstruate, hence using the blood as lubricant.

The two girls engaged in tribiadism last night. They got entangled and rubbed their pussy's against each other until the struck first blood, and used it as lube.
