Trauma

According to the Dictionary, Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience.

What experiences count as trauma depend really as everyone is different on how they see things. Some may see an experience as fine while others not so much.

Trauma effects how you act, feel, react to situations, your social life, your mental health and physical health so if you feel you have trauma, talk to a GP or if you are a minor, a trusted adult or teacher.
They will help you get a therapist or school counsellor.

Trauma flexing

The act of bragging, recounting, one-upping, about a traumatic life event - physical (i.e. road rash, bad cramps, etc.), medical emergency (anything from a splinter to a widowmaker heart attack), mental health related (“The cheese slid off my cracker in 20__”), major life event (someone you loved croaked or croaked themselves), or emotionally inflicted (from a breakup to being gang raped by a whole Archdiocese of priests and nuns), even bemoaning one’s racial plight and/or difficulties associated with their sexuality/gender identification/you-name-it.

It is simply a ploy to garner sympathy and attention, perhaps intersectional leverage. Quite an effective strategic tool.
(Ned): “Did I tell you that I endured four weeks of chest pains before I had my heart attack, stroke, and Exploding Colon Syndrome?”
(Jacques): “Ya. Fifteen times since Juneteeenth. Maybe get checked for the ‘heimers, too. And quit with the trauma flexing. It pisses off everyone and makes me uncomfortable, you dong.”

Sometimes he stirs up drama on purpose, other times he hurts her without even realizing it. Either way, she knows what’s happening and still stays. That’s a trauma bunny.”
