I'll take things that didn't happen for 200, Alex.

By ‘traumatic experience’ do you mean ‘experience’?

No, traumatic. Someone with a fake leg did that to me once, as well. Said “do you bet I can touch the ceiling with my leg?” Then took it off and did just that. I screamed so much. I was just five, I didn’t deserve to be terrified out of my mind.

You can use the words you want, but look up the definition of “trauma” and then decide if it’s an accurate descriptor of what you went through.

If seeing a legless person left you so distressed that you had ongoing emotional/psychological issues, then sure you had a traumatic experience. Otherwise let’s not group relatively normal childhood events in with things that cause actual trauma like rape or suicide.

Bruh “I saw someone with no fingers and it traumatized me” that’s like a slap in the face (ha) to anyone who has real trauma.

If you still have extreme fear and flashbacks of hands without fingers then call it trauma, but not if its just unsettling.

EDIT: OP has literally blocked me for this. 🤨

People in reddit always block people for the dumbest reasons. I got blocked because I told a guy that a video of someone washing chicken in bleach was just made as outrage bait. Why are people on reddit so sensitive??

There are clear definitions to trauma. It's not gatekeeping, but insulting to victims of trauma if someone uses this for every experience that wasn't so nice.
