    Just reread one of the most important and elevating psychology papers: The vast majority of people do not break under traumatic experiences. Resilience is the default, not the rare exception.pic.twitter.com/hmzo0mCioQ

        Unfortunately, the ones who DO break make for better news and better headpieces to use as examples of how we should protect people from said trauma and often goes down the slippery slope of silly things like trigger warnings or calls for material to be censored.

        Having PTSD doesn’t mean that you’re broken.... stop.

        Think how long our species would have lasted if we keeled over under traumatic circumstances. We don't. We survive. It's what we do. Those snowflakes who run for a safe space at the sight of disagreement probably need to be euthanized for the good of the species.

        Has this been replicated in recent years? I seem to run into more of the easily broken type now than I used to but obviously have no real data.

        Except if the trauma is when young, & repeated, or if one is genetically susceptible, it is much more likely to have long term, or life-long effect. We now know it changes the epigenetics. It wouldn't be accurate to describe that as "breaking", usually.
