I feel like people who haven't experienced truama sound so generic?

I struggle to relate to people who haven’t been through some shit. It just feels like there’s nothing of depth there when I’m talking to them. The problem is, I’ve got a bit of white knight syndrome that leads me to end up trying to save people with serious issues that refuse to deal with their issues. I’ve spent years working on myself and unpacking everything I’ve been through, and have come out relatively well-adjusted as a result. I still have my issues, but they are very manageable nowadays.

The most heartbroken I’ve ever been was realizing that someone I loved and saw the best in was not going to be able to face their issues anytime soon. I believed in this person so much that it was incredibly disappointing to realize they weren’t capable. And now I’ve lost a bit of faith in people and am somewhat wary of other people that I click with that have some unresolved issues. Most people haven’t put the necessary work in.
