Post-Traumatic Slack Disorder (PTSD)

A chronic condition caused by repeated incidents of Slack Shaming, excessive @channel pings, or being publicly corrected in front of your digital peers. Symptoms include fear of typing in any channel, cold sweats before hitting "send," overuse of drafts, and the haunting sound of the Slack notification plink in your nightmares.
Ever since I posted that meme in #finance instead of #fun-stuff, I’ve had Post-Traumatic Slack Disorder (PTSD). I triple-check every channel now and haven’t used @here in 6 months

Output Trauma

The sudden, disorienting emotional response when an AI generates a reply that is surprisingly accurate, humanlike, or unsettling—leaving the user questioning intelligence, reality, or their comfort with technology.
“Dude, the AI just guessed my childhood fear. I think I have Output Trauma now.”

vicariously traumatized

When you didn’t go through a trauma but someone close to you did, so you are traumatized because they trauma dumped on you.

This relates to trauma being a factor of shock or unexpected outcomes, when things are not seen coming, they take more tact to adapt to.

This may or may not relate to people being in narcissistic states after going through a traumatic event initially.

See example:
Prom is a trap! I heard about Cindy getting dumped after giving up her v-card so I’ll be waiting until marriage, I’m vicariously traumatized!

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

I heard Lou Lou is suffering from Post-Squirrel Trauma Syndrome again, the poor girl. We'll bake her some brownies and take them over to her den where she's hiding.
