just checked again and, yep, sobbing is still great still can't tell if i'm more traumatized than most people or just less inclined to shut up about it

i have lately trended towards using "trauma" for a somewhat wider collection of things than is the norm but i mean small-t trauma in more or less the typical sense here, i was feeling socially rejected at a workshop and unearthed a direct connection to feeling unloved by my dad

other guys: afraid of expressing their feelings me: luv 2 express feelings as long as they're cool and dramatic like "my father never loved me" and not small and petty like "i judge people for liking puns"

@QiaochuYuan I recentlyish (a few months ago) had a thought process that went along the lines of "If (this experience that I had) counts as trauma then who *isn't* traumatised? ... ... Oh. Hmm."

@QiaochuYuan "The Body Keeps the Score" argues that trauma is much more widespread than we let on. When reading it I was skeptical and it felt a bit too "Man with pet theory discovers that it explains literally everything" but I've been coming around to the point of view.

6. So- the history of humanity is the history of violence, war, rape, trauma, fear, anxiety. What I’m inching up to is the idea that the brokenness of our planet’s men & boys is *civilizational*. It’s primordial; it’s so everywhere that people don’t see it https://t.co/mCiohGWbsM

@QiaochuYuan I love crying that cracks all the way through, unfortunately it’s a very rare event for me

@visakanv i learned a process from @DougTataryn that among other things facilitates cracked-open crying - did it 4 times in 4 days at his workshop which was incredible. any interest in trying it out? can do it via video chat
