    Trauma dumping aside, I think one of the worrying parts is that for untold thousands of people, Elmo was the ONLY person in their life to actually ask them how they were doing, and far too many of them didn't know any other way to respond.

      This is a weird habit I picked up from neurotypicals. And this is very much a neurotypical thing. I found myself saying "How you do'in," not really expecting an answer. Yet if someone asks me, I want to give an honest answer. You ask me how I'm doing, I'm going to tell you. Don't ask if you don't care!
      You get it 😁
      And I still ask, and I respect a real answer over "I'm good, how bout you?"

    Thankfully Elmo's dad, Louie, moderates his account for him. Elmo is 3 years old and can't read. His dad types up what Elmo wants to say and reads the responses to him. His dad would have filtered out the existential crisis content. So really, everyone traumatized Louie.

      @@mavicityrelayson2924 If it's ever viable for you, I'd recommend getting a dog. A cat could work too, but they're less likely to be down to cuddle at a moment's notice.
      I also have trauma from my childhood, idk if it would count as cptsd, but I was touch-starved for the first 15 years of my life until someone recommended my mom that I get a puppy. It helped me in so many ways, it got me out of the house often, it gave me something to hug when I felt alone, it gave me something to talk about at the dog park and therefore I learned to socialize, etc. It was beneficial for my mental and physical health in a myriad of ways, not to mention how much it helped my development to be responsible for the training, food, waste and cleanliness of another living being, though that might not apply to you.
      I understand at the end of the day nothing replaces the feeling of being touch-starved for human intimacy, it was a very slow-going and painful process, but "dog touch" is a very good substitute in the meantime, and it does make a difference. It just takes a lot longer probably, and it depends on how you're doing currently. I'm in my second year of university now, and all the friends I made when I was 17 are really far away now, but by talking to them frequently and sleeping with my dog in my arms (even though you're "not supposed to") all my symptoms have went away, I can safely say I'm no longer touch-starved.
      I know this is probably tmi, funny considering the video I'm replying under, but I just wanted to explain the reasoning behind me making the suggestion. I didn't trust people to touch me, that was an important component to me, and it's amazing that this wasn't the case for you, but I hope this helps either you or someone else reading this wondering how to help themselves.

      @@bec7080 , I understand that sometimes it's frustrating when a complete stranger starts vomiting their feelings onto you, especially when you're in a hurry and just trying to get your groceries and get home or whatever. In fact I've had moments when I feel highly uncomfortable because somebody comes up to me and just starts sharing stuff with me and I feel seriously awkward and have no idea how to respond to that, but I honestly try my best to just listen. I can totally see both sides to this whole thing, but mental healthcare isn't cheap and in my area it's extremely difficult to even get in to see a mental healthcare care professional. They're literally booking 3 to 6 months in advance. So instead of being able to see someone in afew days or next week, you have to wait 3 to 6 months! ☹️

    • @mage4423
      @mage4423 Před 3 měsíci +3

      Sure, but there is a time and place for everything. People have boundaries that we don't know. We can't assume what topics are safe for others to hear, and we can't assume that they were okay or CONSENTED to hear that information in the first place. Yes, we as a society are struggling mentally, but the first step isn't telling someone your entire life struggle. It's a lot more nuanced than that.
      What needs to happen is to allow more accessable safe spaces for people to vent, but not on the Internet. The Internet makes us feel isolated and forces us to see a very small window of people's lives with very little context. The Internet has become a very strong source of filtered bullshit with little honesty.
      This is going to sound awful and really pretentious, but I swear stepping outside and getting off your phones helps you learn how to 1) process your struggles without the opinions and influence of the internet, 2) Not be as paranoid of the world around you, and 3) helps you become selfish with context. What I mean is that you learn to become more aware of what helps you and what self-care is for you, and helps you become more aware of others.
      What that looks like is something similar to this quick dialogue conversation:
      A: How're you doing today?
      B: Eh, could be better
      A: I'm sorry to hear that, I hope things get a little easier for you
      Or something similar to that. As a society, we do need more empathy, but that isn't going to happen when we radically trauma dump to everyone we talk to. It's going to create more anger, loneliness, frustration, and other issues.
      Like everything in life, black and white rarely exists. Finding a middle ground is important to making real growth

    I worked as a waitress once and we had a very “difficult” person as cashier. No one could get along with her. She was so bad that we just ignored her. Once I noticed that she was talking to herself while doing an order. Something told me to ask her “how was she doing?”, so I did. She said “no, I actually am not doing alright” and she just looked at me with her eyes full misery that could fill the whole world, and again for some reason I asked “how so?”, and we proceeded to have the most heart wrenching conversation I’ve ever had. Turned out she was a medical student, an intern in local hospital, and recently she saw a very young woman that was brutally R*ped, so much so, that her organs were all messed up. I was stunned just listening. She couldn’t get over seeing it. I imagine she didn’t have anybody to talk to about it, noone who’d just listen. After that things improved, but she left shortly after. You never know what a person who is rude to you is going through. I wonder if she became a nurse or a doctor, but I could never be one. Those folks need nerves of steel.

    Probably the worst trauma dump ive received was while working as a cashier with a line of 20+ ppl. Lady comes up i ask her how are you today...and she tells me how her husband and pet passed early that year, and either her son or daughter just found out they had a pretty aggressive cancer. She also mentioned financial issues, i forget if it was medical or morgage related.
    It was tough, im terrible at consoling ppl but i tried my best. I think just listening to her was more comforting/relieving than anything else i said.

    Y’all scared the residents of Sesame Street with those responses. Even Oscar the Grouch chimed in to soothe the masses 😂😂😂 that’s when you know it’s bad

    One of my favorite things about you is mainly that delivery you have of not needing to explain your jokes, weather people get it or not. When you watch the best comedians, they know they will land. If something doesn’t hit but 3 people laugh you’re ok with that. That joke was made for those three. Maybe the others will get it 5 mins to a month later but you don’t care. Such a confidence in your story telling and the way you can come back to a punch line. Spot on man spot on

    I used to work at Home Depot...2 customers I will always remember after saying Hello, how are you?" I was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and I'm looking to put new lights in for my wife before I die, what do you recommend?" and " I just found out that my husband that I have these 5 kids with is cheating on me and I found out when the jeweler called to say the new engagement ring was in." I have never felt more uncomfortable on how to respond in my life.
