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.”

Trauma Trap

A trauma trap is a person on Instagram or other social media platforms who posts intentionally triggering or divisive content under the guise of vulnerability, education, or advocacy. While their posts may appear relatable or well-meaning on the surface, the real motive is to stir emotional reactions, spark arguments, and gain attention to boost engagement and follower counts. Instead of fostering healing or awareness, trauma traps exploit sensitive topics to manipulate algorithms and grow their personal brand—often at the expense of genuine connection or collective understanding.
“At first her posts seemed empowering, but then I realized she was just setting a trauma trap—constantly provoking outrage to farm likes and boost her visibility.”
