Dark humor is a coping mechanism for dealing with repeated exposure to trauma.

Just FYI.

@alice This is so important to recognize. I can't count the number of times my gallows humor has had me ostracized when all I was trying to do was echo locate someone who would understand me. Maybe even advocate for me

@violet @alice

Oh I LOVE that description!

"echo locate someone who would understand me"

I'm going to use that from now on!

@violet @alice I remember one of the guys in my grade 6 class getting upset by my gallows humour after my dad died. Sorry dude, just trying to somehow cope.
