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.

Another commenter: "Dude, she literally has an absent father and she got pregnant at 14. Stop trauma shaming.".

Shame Tornado

A Shame Tornado is the feeling of depression that results from a massive drinking excursion. Does not necessarily mean you did anything shameful per say but if you did you probably would not remember. Shame tornadoes are more prevalent when you blackout ( or Time Travel) for any period of time. The older you get the more at risk you are for one of these episodes. They tend to last 24-48 hours after the drinking episode but have in some cases been documented to last as long as 8 days.

Honk of shame

A short, friendly double-honk one safe driver gives another driver seen texting while driving.
If I ever see someone texting while driving, I give them the honk of shame to encourage them to focus on the road before they cause an accident.
