some people walk away from traumatic events pretty unscathed, others recover quickly, still others slowly or never
possibly an issue is that when an Objectively Awful thing happens but one doesn't take it to heart it's unlikely to be flagged as traumatic

this is why cultural practices which normalize and ritualize trauma can be so toxic over the long term
