Living through trauma isn't really a super power. And I wouldn't wish what happened to me on anyone. In fact, I don't usually share what happened to me with anyone but my therapist and my wife.

Not a superpower, agreed.

I've found many shared experiences when I thought my experience was unique. Sharing my personal traumas with people in my life has both helped them to understand me as well as sometimes help them also. In the same ways I have felt alone I have helped other to realize they are not alone and often that can be the first step to them getting real help.

That's fair, I probably shouldn't keep this stuff to myself if I want to get better from it.
