  1. Trauma , it can be false and it can be real. In our society which promotes trauma and victims it is truly hard to tell as people will fake both for personal gain only to find out that what ever they might receive has a cost that most often is greater than expected. being Controlled , Manipulated , becoming a part of movements that cause them more harm than good. This is why I fight with all the strength that I have to avoid groups as they are all the same in our world Power , Greed and Control !

    1. I don’t think I personally know anyone who has faked trauma. Most people I know who have experienced trauma don’t even realize they are/were traumatized until after they start healing from the trauma.

      I would say our society promotes trauma by creating trauma. Power, greed, and control are traumatizing, yes.
