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

Just FYI.

And dark humour can get you ostracised, leading to even more trauma. πŸ˜–

@alice

You've made me realise just how much I censor myself, here on Fedi and in meatspace. I keep the dark-humour dial close to zero for fear of alienating people, and I've been doing it for so long that I was no longer even conscious of doing it.

Thanks for today's big insight, Alice. πŸ™‚
