I'm gonna tell you one of the weirdest days of my life. If anyone of you knows about trauma it would be appreciated.

>it's a nice morning in June
>Me, my sister and her friend go play softball at my friend's place with his brother.
>we play for a bit
>it's my turn to be a catcher
>Sister's friend misses the ball
>I go pick it up
>My sister's friend is swinging the bat around like an autist

>I thought she would have seen me
>I get whacked in the face full force

>I go downstairs
>My sister and her friend comes in and say there's a naked woman running in the streets
>No one believes them
>Hey look! there's actually a gorgeous naked blonde chick running around naked screaming
>She's screaming "Get them off me!" while brushing her hair and looking at herself in a mirror.
>Parents locks all doors
>She runs across the streets and no one is helping her, just drooling
>She sees us in the window and crashes into our front door squeezing her massive tits against the window. Banging as hard as she can

Is there a question here, or are you just bragging?

Read the title. I want to know if it's enough to traumatize someone of this age or it's no big deal and I should suck it up?

Trauma is different for every kid, just depends on their threshold. Met a kid who watch both their parents be murdered and was okay years later and met adults who still cry because their older sibling held them down and farted on them when they were 9.
But generally no, that doesn't sound like enough to traumatize the average non-pussy child.

I do this to my brothers all the time. Mind you they are 20years old by now. Will they be traumatized?

Experiences aren't traumatic because they 'qualify' as such, they're traumatic because of how they make us feel.
Do you feel traumatised by these events? If so, then they traumatised you.

This. Trauma isn't about what happens to us, it's about how we deal with it.
