Do not tell people how to cope with
traumatic experiences. If they don't want to vent to
anyone, let them. If they want to vent to a boy they met a week
ago, let them. If they want to tell strangers on the internet,
let them. If they want to paint their story on the side of their
house, let them. If they aren't hurting anyone, let them cope
however the hell they want. And don't you dare ever say,
"If that really happened to you/if it was really that bad,
you wouldn't be doing [insert whatever here]." Because
everyone handles traumatic experiences differently and you have
no god damn right to judge what is or isn't a real coping
mechanism.
