trauma shaming

When someone who has been affected mentally or psychologically by a trauma, or even a bad upbringing, is criticized for the behavior they display as a result of the trauma, with those criticizing seemingly forgetting, or not knowing the reason behind this behavior. Some may continue to criticize the person with the trauma even when explained the reason, claiming that the trauma doesn't "justify" their behavior. In the case of fictional characters, expect one to call a trauma-stricken character "annoying" for lashing out.

Shaming

Shaming is a unnecessary action first off because when someone has done something shameful they already know it and have the shame they already carry within them. Second if your shamed for a life decision you have made well we all walk different paths in life and none of us make the same journey so my mole hill night be your mountain and vice versa.
