i think sometimes this term scares people away from mutually sharing their experiences, you know? it seems like it can be used in kind of a cruel way against people who are just trying to connect? it's good to have a more solid definition, like the one you are giving. i think it's great to talk about things with people but it can't be one-sided, which i guess is what makes it trauma-dumping.

I think I’ve been guilty of being the serial ‘trauma dumpee’…it has prevented me from having to share about myself….??!!

I feel like I should carry a little plastic trauma pooper bag to pick up after myself lol.

Aren't we all guilty of trauma dumping every once in a while. And sometimes it is easier to dump on a stranger.
