Just don't be shitty to people.
Being damaged is not an excuse.
This is not mutually exclusive with the statement, from my perspective. Many have trauma responses that do not involve being shitty to others but may involve shutting down, self-isolating, etc. that are still maladaptive and unhelpful, without necessarily being hurtful to others.
Why would anyone be whining if you cope in ways that aren't harmful to others?
It's not whining, but maybe being concerned about someone you love, care about or just having empathy with someone hurting themselves.
Why would people be *complaining about how they vent if it's healthy?
This post is either trying to excuse inexcusable behavor, or making up a senario where people are shamed for healthy habits.
There can be behaviour that is not inexcusable or shitty, but is viewed by some people as too sensitive, too emotional, too weak. People are sometimes shamed for healthy reactions like crying or just not being cheerful.
Sounds like a lot of contortions to be upset about text on a screen
Did I miss something? I think the post is about being upset in real life.
this smells like white women
This is more about people being shitty to us but you couldn't resist victim blaming, could you?
Accointability isn't victim blaming
You couldn't resist clutching perarls instead of self reflecting
Bitch I'm autistic, ALL I DO IS SELF REFLECT
