does anyone else who's had trauma like reading toxic red flag stuff?

Like idk if I'm just weird but I feel like bc of my trauma I'm drawn to reading toxic stuff?? Idk I don't rlly get triggered by it either. Maybe I've been ruined by reading toxic fanfics when I was 8 too lol. Just want to knock if anyone's the same so I don't feel like a weirdo.

    noo this is so true! whenever im going thru it, I deliberately go out of my way to find disturbing genres of entertainment. it’s upsetting but oddly reassuring at the same time, as if the grim reaper is patting me on the back lmfao

    Yup, sometimes I get the urge to read messed up stuff, but only in small doses, so it’s bit like I go on days-long binges on anything. It’s mostly a here and there kinda thing, but yes, I understand that feeling. It’s kinda therapeutic in a way.
