vicariously traumatized

When you didn’t go through a traumatic event first hand, but someone close to you did and they trauma dumped on you, so now you’re in fear of the same thing happening to you.

This relates to how unexpected outcomes require more tact to recover from than outcomes we prepare for.

This may or may not be related to the narcissist nature the brain is left in from an initial traumatic event- sort of like a ripple impact of trauma until one transmutes the cycle
Prom is a trap! Ever since I heard Cindy got dumped after giving up her v-card I’ll be waiting until marriage, I'm vicariously traumatized!

PTMD (Post-traumatic Modelling Disorder)

An anxiety disorder similar to PTSD affecting 3D Artists, digital modellers and CAD designers caused by stressful or distressing 3D modelling experiences.

Someone with PTMD often relives the traumatic event through dreams and flashbacks, and may experience feelings of isolation, irritability and guilt.

This particularly manifests as an adverse reaction to songs heard during the event which trigger flashbacks and is thought to affect approximately 1 in 1 people who experience modelling trauma.

Sufferers may also have problems sleeping, such as insomnia, and find concentrating difficult.

"I couldn't sleep last night - PTMD. All I saw when I closed my eyes was vertices"

PTSD - Post Traumatic Steve Disorder

PTSD - Post Traumatic Steve Disorder is a paranoia many liberals suffer from on Facebook when confronted with a troll that hurts their feelings. They instinctively call that troll Steve because Steve hurt them so bad nearly a decade ago and they still fear him. He also haunts their waking thoughts and dreams.

All I said was “hilarious” and that weak liberal suffering from PTSD called me Steve because he used that word eight years ago. What a pussy!
