    They also say you can’t not be traumatized. Trauma is how we learn to do and be better.

      No, that’s a garbage take. Trauma doesn’t make anyone better. People who learn to overcome their trauma become better by virtue of the challenge they overcame, but that’s like saying becoming a paraplegic made Steven Hawking smarter.

      Some people thrive despite their disabilities and hardships. That doesn’t mean the disabilities and hardships are what made then thrive in the first place.
