A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I believe it depends on the severity of the trauma. And of course our mental strength and if we are on the spectrum or not, have any abnormalities and so on... So many components.
If you had a single Mom and you only met your dad every weekend that could affect you.
If you were starved, beaten sold into sexual servitude and then failed by the legal system... I don't think you can get over that.
But the first step is to understand how messed up it was and you didn't deserve it. No child deserves any trauma.
