i wish the general population never learned the word "triggered" because as someone who actually gets triggered and needs to communicate that, it's been watered down and almost sounds like edgelord nonsense now even when i have to use it.

let this be a psa to stop using that term unless you are actually talking about having a trauma response. i hate it and when people use it jokingly i feel uncomfortable around them

similarly "i was traumatized" or "i still have ptsd from that" when talking about a mildly inconvenient ordeal. please stop.
just like being organized or particular are not OCD, an unpleasant experience you don't want to repeat does not make PTSD
@forestine ugh the fucking OCD thing bothers me the most bcs its so normalized and is absolutely infuriating how others use it

like no you arent OCD for wanting a tidy fucking work space like everyone else, please can we just stop it

@aperture @forestine yeah >->

its bad enough that doll gets unsure if it should say it might have ocd because its scared of being like them
..even when for it its stuff like morality trauma and contamination hell and it just isnt sure if its constant enough to be ocd actually there arent really any conpulsions that clear it up, itd probably just be obsessions if anything

@azalea @aperture i'm sorry. it's okay to look for resources on something even if unsure about a label, if that helps. books or websites for example
