This advice won’t be for everyone, but: anytime you’re tempted to say “I was traumatized by X”, try reframing this in your internal dialogue as “After X, my brain incorrectly learned that Y”.
I have to admit, for a brief moment i thought he was correctly expressing displeasure at twitter.

This is of course a dangerous sort of tweet, but I predict that including variables into it will keep out the worst of the online riff-raff - the would-be bullies will correctly predict that their audiences’ eyes would glaze over on reading a QT with variables.
Fool! This bully (is it weird to speak in the third person ?) thinks using variables here makes it MORE sneer worthy, especially since this appear to be a general advice, but i would struggle to think of a single instance in my life where it’s been applicable.
He had a showerthought on how trauma works, and how to fix it, and didn’t bother to check if it was true, but just stated it like it would fix people. Big R Rationalism!
Just-so stories and their consequences have been a disaster for the internet discourse. Too bad the guy is quoted by press as an expert on anything.
