We’re all going to have PTSD and agoraphobia by the end of April
Like, my grandparents lived through the Great Depression and never really managed to give up their learned habits from that experience. Now, instead of “Why are you guys sitting in the dark? You can afford to turn lights on…” it’s going to be “Why do you feel guilty about going to the grocery store? You aren’t infecting anybody.”
I’m already planning to have big bottles of hand sanitizer, and gloves for the rest of my life, also I want to buy an old school freezer, you know those ones that look like a coffin? I want one, and I want to fill it with frozen meat so I never EVER have to feel this fucking terror of what I’ll do if I run out of food.
This is an actual phenomenon called collective trauma, and yeah it can do just that.
I feel like we’re seeing the preview version of it in all the memes about how weird it is to watch media now where people touch.

@hauntedpeanutking yeah, I think that could be the case. Then again general anxiety runs through my family as well. But at that point it’s hard to determine what came first

@korusalka hi! i read your tags for this post. some characteristics and traits can be passed doen through genetics since the trauma impacted the genetic code. im p sure its called epigenetics and its a good read, theres a lot of evidence of this from Auschwitz survivors
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
