Am I in the wrong for still feeling bad about it? It's pretty minor compared to other people's experiences.
As for your question I don't really have an answer.

You're entitled to the discomfort and anger others made you feel in the past. Stoicism is a cope, but I don't recommend dwelling on it forever either. Work towards getting over it. In time you will make it. In time we will all make it. But the first step is allowing yourself to feel how you feel.

>Question: Dr. Dobson, do childhood traumas inevitably twist and warp a person in the adult years?

Answer: No. It is well known that difficult childhoods leave some people wounded and disadvantaged, but for others, they fuel great achievement and success. The difference appears to be a function of individual temperaments and resourcefulness.

In a classic study called "Cradles of Eminence," Victor and Mildred Goertzel investigated the home backgrounds of three hundred highly successful people. The researchers sought to identify the early experiences that may have contributed to remarkable achievement. All of the subjects were well known for their accomplishments; they included Einstein, Freud, Churchill, and many others.

A lot of people saying "just get over it" are probably le edgy 13 year old trust fund babies who never suffered in their lives. In reality, that is life outside of fortnite, people who suffered trauma of any kind will spend their life trying to "get over it" but simply get reminded over and over again in a struggle like Sisyphus. It's even more ironic to say this in a literary forum as you would have any and all subtext and deep understandings of drama just completely fly over your head, that is, if you read anything other than reviews on Minecraft hacks.

I'd recommend anything dealing with childhood trauma desu but anyway:
Catcher in the rye
The perks of being a wallflower
Glass castle
The kite runner

All trauma is legitimate. Its not your fault. Everyone telling you to stfu are ignorant and waste of time. Find people who can empathize with you although it's certainly not going to be this place for sure.

Nope. Your model is shallow. Your interpretation of your experience affects your future experience. Choosing an interpretation that serves your future experience is important. The interpretation that you were "traumatized" and that it is "permanent" or even "challenging" can be counter-productive. Likewise, it can be counter-productive to think that nothing from your past is impeding you from choosing decisions that will create a desirable future. The issue is not black and white and anyone claiming a one-size-fits-all model is simply, and embarrassingly, inexperienced.
