I agree that the word "trauma" is overused and exaggerated to describe situations that are not really traumatic. Ironically, I think that the word "outrage" is similarly misused. I couldn't help but giggle at the irony of "outrage" being used as the word to describe the response to this.

Haha I felt the same way reading back my own comment! "Oh no, I'm one of those 'outraged' people now."
