𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬.
If you mean, ‘upset’ or ‘distressed’- say that.
Not ‘trauma’ or ‘traumatic’.
————————————
If you mean ‘that makes me uncomfortable and I can’t articulate why.’
Say that.
Not “this is problematic.”
————————————
If you mean you were treated poorly or your feelings were hurt.
Say that.
Not “they are a narcissist or an abuser.”
————————————
If you mean “I don’t agree with you.”
Say that.
Not “you are a fascist.”
————————————
This is a mindless, brainless and very careless way of speaking. It dilutes the meaning of words.
There are real world consequences.
