Today everything causes trauma, and someone unintentionally making someone else uncomfortable is literal violence. It pains me to see this world outlook becoming the norm with people, as the hyper sanitized waiting-room style conversation people are pushing on everyone destroys our humanity and interpersonal connection. It is precisely in those personal topics that strangers become friends, that people are humanized in each others eyes, etc. I get they’re coming at it from a good place, but the path to hell is paved with good intentions.
