"The world isn't a safe place, so get used to it!"

Man, as somebody who's survived multiple, long-lasting instances of abuse from a very young age, I was under the impression that the world was, indeed, so safe and conforming to my desires. I'm practically stunned to learn that this is not the case, and I have been severely humbled

#mental health #mental health advocacy #abuse apologia #trauma #abuse tw #abuse mention tw #if your response to somebody talking about trauma is to go 'the world isn't safe!' that is a reflection on you; not the world #and if the world isn't safe because of human action: we can change our behaviour #not only is this abuse apologia but it is also kind of... lazy #and i *hate* the word 'lazy' but it's simply the only word i have to convey how asinine the whole 'get used to it!!!' is #if living in the world is to be used to abuse and some of the worst shit imaginable then. i don't think that's right. or normal.#again like... i actually truly just fucking despise the way most people talk about trauma and abuse...#...and pretty much anything that isn't like the bare surface-level 'mental health is important!' type deal...#...because it has always cpme down to 'how can i help maintain the status quo (people being abused and tormented)?'#or 'well you were [x] so you deserved it!' or 'you shouldn't want for ANYTHING if it makes me sad/annoyed/frustrated!!'#but maybe i'm naïve but i know this shit can change #and i don't think silence and letting people go about believing that shit is how it'll be done
