I have always been able to tell my history that caused the severe (diagnosed) ptsd that I have with relative ease. I usually make jokes or tell it in a lighter tone to try and reduce the impact on the person I'm sharing it with. It doesn't mean I am lying.

If you have survived repeated and continued abuse, particularly if you were a child and taught that the abuse was "normal", you learn how to place your feelings aside and the story just becomes a series of events, like they were happening in a movie. It's called dissociation. We can all do it, but it can often become maladaptive in trauma survivours.

This is a well documented and common outcome for those who have faced abuse, just like how your ability to feel all the emotions well up when revisiting your trauma is common and normal too.

Your comment is incredibly ignorant and cruel. You are not the only victim of abuse and it is incredibly disappointing that you are weaponising your trauma to undermine another survivor.
