They nonchalantly talk about traumatizing things like it’s no big deal when everyone else is horrified

They're just trying to hold it together, but close friends and family can see the cracks. Just be nice to everyone, you might not see the cracks yet.

This might be a weird one but people who are constantly unfazed. Bad things will happen, like the kind of bad things that make everyone freak out, and they just coast like it’s just another normal day.

I worked in a large office environment for 30+ years and over time I observed that the people who had hard lives, often were the ones who were hyper into things like office Christmas or birthday parties. I think it was often the only celebrations they got to be part of.

They don't get excited to go home after work / find reasons to stay at work longer

When they look for happiness in other people... and their whole day can be ruined if a certain person says or does something that they dont like
ZoraiaVnkle reply
Sometimes, when they seem less excited or stop doing things they used to love, it might mean things aren't going well for them.

Disproportionate reactions. Their reactions to most things are normal or even low key, but occasionally they have a huge response to something minor. Key sign of trauma.
Wandoothepo reply
They have advice--good advice--for people who've just experienced trauma. Or for how to handle oddly specific and f****d up situations.
provoloneChipmunk reply
They look tired everytime you see them. They're very interested in what you've got going on, but don't really share themselves. They're distracted

That people used to only live to age 30 in the past. I can't believe how often people still mention this misconception. Average mortality rate ≠ individual life expectancy

As a dietitian, it drives me nuts when people say that iceberg lettuce is devoid of nutrition. A typical serving of 100 grams provides 17% of your daily Vitamin A and 20% of your Vitamin K requirements, all for just 14 calories. Plus, it's a good source of potassium, manganese, and fiber. So, it’s far from being “just water.” There's definitely nutritional value there.

24 hours for a missing persons report—can’t tell you how many people call 911 after their child/partner has been missing for that long.

That you can catch a cold from being outside in the cold. You become more susceptible, but the actual cold is a virus you can only catch from other people.

Carrots improve your night vision. It was a “fact” promoted by the Allies during WW2 to hide their invention of radar. All those British pilots are downing German bombers at night because they eat so many carrots! Totally not because we have a device that lets us see them day or night from dozens of miles away.

Myers-Briggs personality test has no indepently verified evidence behind it. It has no more scientific evidence behind it than a Cosmo quiz.
