Is it normal to think i have ptsd from education and news exposure ?
I've become terribly cautious and not trusting of people in general. I've not faced any life threats to me. But, I've vicariously been exposed to so much cruelty and violence through education and media exposure that I swear it all installed a sense of caution in my head. I can distract myself every day from it. But, its there anyways. I seem to be reminded again and again that the bad stuff in the wold really is the default. Good stuff is just lucky, or chance. Its not a given. I think I've got PTSD from the acquisition of knowledge. I kind of want to delete what I've learned. I just can't trust any surface faces on people. I think to myself, what's the scam here? Because I have caught a few of them which helped protect me. It's such a dark and disturbing world if you actually think about it, which I suggest you all don't do! But, do beware and read the fine print on everything.
