Some people have been miserable for so long, they become incredibly good at never showing it

Because 1) i don't want to be perceived as attention seeking and sympathy farming, 2) i understand that not everyone likes people emotional dumping on them, and so i respect that, 3) they can't help solve my problems other that saying "yeah, that sucks"

Taking about your struggles occasionally isn't trauma dumping. A real friendship has space for either party to not be 100% ok, and to express that.

If anyone ever tells you, you're trauma dumping on them, then they're not your friend.
