Yes, yes, we all know how damn EXHAUSTING traumadumping friends are. Those friends that you bonded with one moment to be friends with and you thought "hey maybe this is too bad!!" But turns out that so called friend was just using you as a ragdoll or a rage room where they vent to you non-stop and as a small bonus, don't even consider your feelings or whenever you want to vent. They're so damn draining!! Yeah!!
Buuuut, friendly reminder that friends are there for each other!! Friends listen to each other about their day, about their interests, about everything they need to know and they want the other person to know.
Before you say something, I'm not defending the friends that traumadump on you or vent to you non-stop, no, of course not. (Not overly hating on them either, they just need to know that's not fine to do so and they gotta change their actions)
What I mean is that, if you become friends with someone, you're fine with them, all chill, all relax, bestying y'know?? And then you proceed to cry and puke and vomit and scream the one time they decide to vent to you then maybe you're the problem here.
Long story short please don't whine and complain when you become friends with someone and they vent to you once or twice. Show that you're a real friend and show your support instead of doing that, and if they're a non-stop vent friend try to talk to them about how you feel about this situation. If they don't agree and lash out at you, leave them, that's not healthy. They'll figure it out themselves, you're not responsible for someone's mental health (unless you're an actual therapist or any similar...). If they agree, then great!!
