Maybe. And with the way resilience and moving forward in life has been disparaged, and dysfunction valorised and rewarded, what counts as trauma to modern Westerners has expanded absurdly...

Two things can be true at once. I agree with you on all counts that being weak is now a badge of honor and crying about everything glorified as a virtue. That said, stuff like 9/11, covid, war on terror and all that are examples of mass events that were manufactured to traumatize people in a very big way. Their negative effects on the psyche of people can't be underestimated
