To brag, highlight, or bring attention to hardship that one has experienced. Examples include highlighting one's experience of poverty, illness, abuse, or adversity

Atheist Trauma Syndrome

Atheist Trauma Syndrome, also shortened as ATS, is the name of a mental condition provoked due to massive hardline (new) atheist information and due to things that (new) atheists and atheist zealots often say on the Internet, one of the most common traits of this syndrome is that when an individual struggles with leaving atheism or a set of atheist beliefs or information that has led to them become atheist or think that atheism is right about religion and spirituality, it often have the same symptoms of religious trauma syndrome, but being about atheism, mostly about new atheism, atheist fundamentalism and scientism.

Atheist Trauma Syndrome is actually a thing, but sadly there's not a lot of studies about that and only few people actually study about such syndrome, it's mostly common between ex-atheists and people who used to watch atheist YouTube channels, read atheist sites and blogs and follow atheist accounts on social media.

Trauma echo

When you suffer trauma as a result of being in the echo chamber of the internet and social media. Another cause is from hearing the nonstop news of Trump and the Republicans.

This year is so long and exhausting we’re suffering from some trauma echo due to this pandemic and having to constantly hear and feel the he incompetence of this administration. It just doesn’t end.
