"Your trauma made you stronger"

No. My traumas made me weak. My traumas made me suffer. My traumas made me sad; cry countless times; gave me sleepless nights. My trauma made me question my worth. My trauma made me doubt myself. I never wanted trauma. I will never want trauma. If trauma makes people stronger, I don't want to be strong then. My trauma did not made me braver and tougher. I made myself stronger by not giving up to those traumas. I made myself tougher by overcoming those fear. I made myself braver by defeating those anxiety and depression. My traumas did nothing but scare me. My traumas do not deserve the credits for this version of mine.
