I keep seeing an internet trend, and it's only purpose is to remind people of traumatic memories(TW SEXUAL ASSAULT!)
Hi! I'm not really sure when to begin with this one, but I feel like I really need to talk about this because it's really hurting me, and I wanna possibly warn others about this as well.
ANOTHER POSSIBLE TW FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT! I really don't want to remind other's of traumatic situations.
So, there's this trend going around on *** right now, and it will show a really sad question which can vary in topic, then the next slide is a black screen(it's meant to show the viewer looking back at themselves), and it keeps triggering flash backs for me. I've pressed not interested, and scrolled past them so many times, but they always come back up on my page.
An example about what type of questions it'll show is one that I just seen that is causing me distress which was "what if I had said no." I've seen other similar one's that are even more triggering, such as "what would my life be if I wasn't assaulted" and I can't for the life of me understand why someone would be okay with posting that. It seems like the whole purpose is too hurt other's.
It's really eating me up inside not only because my mental state has been declining pretty rapidly right now mainly because of memories of being sexually assaulted as a child, but also because it breaks my heart to scroll through the comments, and see other's in so much pain because of the post.
Not only that, but the creator's seem to be making a joke out of it which is even more disgusting. I can't tell if I'm just being too sensitive, but either way it hurts all the same.
I don't know, I guess there's not much purpose for writing this. I just needed to get it off my chest because the lack of care for other's when it comes to this trend is really disturbing in my eyes. It seems like the only purpose for it is too bring back bad memories for other people.
I just wish people were more considerate of other's. Please be safe, and careful out there ♡
