imo more related to media inputs than trauma

You think viewing infinite 10s videos about how shitty and/or slutty things are does not lead to trauma?

hmm we might just have diff definitions of trauma? i interpret that as like, lived experience, which feels different from media consumption?

if its all trauma tho then yea im aligned

Good point

I think I've understood all memory / emotional residue that doesn't get released or processed to be traumatic -- even things we may consider to be trivial or mundane (eg. rush hour traffic)

TikTok is toxic IMO because it's like traumatic microcuts and The Body Keeps The Score™

In a way, you can think of it as an advanced psychological/bioweapon

And it's programmed to get you

Just like fast food -- one single bag of doritos probably doesn't have significant adverse health effects (the body can purge the toxins). But you eat them shits every day? Boy you're fucked

from youth where u aren't aware enough to control or resist it

yea that tracks, it's still something that one experiences traumatically bc of lasting psychic damage
