While narcissists, trauma, codependency, gaslighting, and abuse are very real issues people are dealing with, it is important to not “cry wolf” and apply these serious definitions to everyday unpleasant situations and interactions. I do not use these words lightly in real life or in the stories I write.

𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬.
If you mean, ‘upset’ or ‘distressed’- say that.
Not ‘trauma’ or ‘traumatic’.
————————————
If you mean ‘that makes me uncomfortable and I can’t articulate why.’
Say that.
Not “this is problematic.”
————————————
If you mean you were treated poorly or your feelings were hurt.
Say that.
Not “they are a narcissist or an abuser.”
————————————
If you mean “I don’t agree with you.”
Say that.
Not “you are a fascist.”
————————————
This is a mindless, brainless and very careless way of speaking. It dilutes the meaning of words.
There are real world consequences.
𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐭 𝐊. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐰𝐥𝐚

Posted @withrepost • @seerutkchawla Do the opposite of these & do not listen to people who encourage self-absorption. It’s not helping you. #inthetrencheswithyou https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmc5bJ6OZI-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Set boundaries with your partner, friends, family, workplace"... but let an internet stranger treat you like shit? I think not.👎
The internet can be merciless and cruel. Dog piling, assumptions, reactivity, the angry internet mob- not to mention hypervigilance that the mob might turn on you- all make it a hostile environment. It's not pleasant, but lets be pragmatic about it.
And while this all plays out online, it has very real offline mental health impacts. You are allowed to guard your mind from those.
The block button exists for these occasions. Peace out and move on.
