The thing this is missing is that most people want others to suffer not simply because they happened to turn out fine, but because they believe that suffering **is the reason** they turned out fine. They see it as something that builds character.

Not saying their right, just saying you cant fix a problem by misunderstanding it.

Perhaps something similar yea... "I dealt with this horribile and significant thing.. I am a good and better person than I was, this horrible and significant thing must make people better people! It is the only thing that gives what was done to me meaning!"

@woffs @Jedigirl @freemo It’s a coping mechanism for rationalizing why they have suffered.

Of all the rough stuff in Bojack Horseman, I think Diane's revelation about trauma cut deepest for me.
