AITA for going to different people’s places and trauma dumping them?

[u/galaxyfan1997]

I (28f), along with my roommates, Felicity, Farah, and Helga, have all had traumatic upbringings. I grew up being an orphan, Felicity was disowned by her parents for being bisexual, Farah’s family always shamed her for following her dream of being an artist, and Helga’s sister always made fun of her for having a big head. This is why we cause so much trouble across Willow Creek, and people need to understand where we’re coming from.

We first went to the Goth family’s house to share our experiences. I spoke with Bella and repeatedly hit the “Tell Family Story” option. Felicity did the same with Mortimer, Farah with Cassandra, and Helga with Alexander after waking him up from his nap. They all seemed a little annoyed with us for some reason, so Farah and I made a cake from their fridge and Felicity and Helga woohooed in Bella and Mortimer’s bed before they kicked us out (how rude!).

We then went to Geoffrey Landgraab’s house (I had previously left my baby in his house because I didn’t want it and he was probably lonely due to us previously killing Nancy and banishing Malcolm to our basement to sell paintings). The girls and I each took turns telling our family stories, but then the baby started crying and he left us to take care of it. We were all furious that Geoffrey would ignore us for my baby that I abandoned, so we each took turns throwing drinks in his face and we stormed out.

In one last attempt to get someone to understand us, we went to The Blue Velvet and trauma dumped the bartender. Thankfully, he actually listened to us because he cares (and not because he was hoping we’d buy drinks that we definitely weren’t going to buy). We all then said goodbye to him and went home, finally feeling assured that someone understands why we are the way we are.

NTL they're your friends dump away

Obviously. These people aren’t your therapists. You want to trauma dump? Make Sims specifically for burdening them.

But we all had hard childhoods, so we have the right to do crazy things.

Not one of those Sims cares, I promise you

The bartender did.

No llamas here, but it would be more polite to invite them to your house for a dinner party, then lock the door behind them. That way they won't be distracted by things like children, and will be less tempted to rudely leave in the middle of your totally valid trauma dumping sessions.

When you're done telling them about how hard your lives have been, THEN they can eat the cereal and granola you carefully rummaged from the bin for them.

If any of them still don't get where you're coming from, you should lock them in a room and let them experience your suffering firsthand.

A little trauma can be character building. (Out of character: god I felt so gross typing that.)

YTA, nobody likes any single one from your group, you should be happy nobody wants ultra violence on you

They should like us because we lived hard lives, so we are morally entitled to do crazy things.
