relationship trauma

Description

Relationship trauma is the hobby of collecting fragments of psychological landmines left behind by past connections. A single remark or delayed reply becomes an eternal booby trap, while the tedious business of reconciliation or growth is proactively avoided. It’s a peculiar talent to inflate victimhood so large that you’re oblivious to the sting of your own self-worth. On the surface you seem perfectly normal, but inside a ghost town of memories operates round the clock. In its final form, even a glance at old messages triggers an endless loop of dread.
