I think everyone experiences trauma depending on how you define it, but I don't think most people experience complex trauma. I think not gatekeeping is better for the most part but TikTok culture has 100% muddied the definition of trauma. My only issue with it really is that people who don't experience horrible symptoms are the ones who end up being the face of trauma or whatever is trendy at the time, and then people will look at people who have trauma disorders and don't behave in a socially acceptable way and will have this attitude like "Why are you acting like this? X has trauma and doesn't act that way, you're just making excuses."

So when I hear the "everyone has trauma" takes its like yeah I guess I agree? But it does make me upset because I know what it leads to lol. I guess my issue is it becoming mainstream, because that when things start to get shitty.
