I think it's good that you made some people come to solid conclusions regarding their views on the matter, but I'm sure it didn't win you many friends.
Trauma as a problem solving tool... hmm...
Never said it was the best* method lol
But you did seem to imply that it was a good method.
I hoped the not winning friends part would have prevented that
I don't know why the person you're replying to causes me so much revulsion. Probably resonates with some people I'm not in touch. Anyways, live moves on and I decided to block that person.
Life's too short to tolerate asswholes
Yeah tbh I was trying to find the bright side of the story but I don't think it came off that way.
I had a former summer camp kid come up and credit me with having given them their "first existential crisis" (for explaining that when you die, "you just cease") which I am proud of.
Damn dude, why you gotta do 'em like that? Hope someday he finds psychelics or something lol
They were actually pretty grateful, feeling it had set them up for a lot of positive realizations down the line. We play D&D now and they're working on their masters, so I guess they weren't too badly scarred...
How old were they at the time and how did the subject come up?
Not very satisfying answers I'm afraid, they were probably 8-10 and I have no idea how we got onto the topic since this was 15+ years ago.
But why are you proud? Or was that more tongue-in-cheek?
I get the impression you don't think this was a good thing to have done, hence the interrogation?
I wouldn't intentionally give a childhood a existential crisis, no, but I'm sure I could inadvertently. Didn't mean it to feel like an interrogation, sorry. Was just curious.
thats a parents job!
