Nice basic breakdown on how to deal with "trauma pornographers" versus dealing with those stuck within trauma.

> The real order to sharing your story is first to your known friends and family. It should always begin there. After that, you need to priorities your mental or physical recovery.

Second step goes first if the friends and family are indeed "to poisonous to fix". Therapeutics first, then deal with immaturity in the family by having the higher ground. Have better friends and support network is a plus too... One may conjecture it can become a stuck problem of "finding support networks without internet", but most support network sites are by private contact or protected charity basis. Why would someone announce it on the internet in the first place!?

> I can boldly tell that anyone who skips these two steps and jumps to let the world know first is living in an inverted world. And they are not interested in healing as much as they are interested in gaining attention.

Here is where is where I start to suspect a secondary problem: the "narcissists" in fact has the mental fortitude to endure the suffering by themselves without help, whilst at the same time siphoning away attention from those with empathy, who is originally prepared to give it to those with real needs. This is the secular equivalent of stealing from the offering basket, and most charitable men will let it happen on the basis of good will. https://archive.ph/pkq9o

Then again if someone want to chase "clout" and stir drama, the ultimate result is to convert it into monetary and marketing value (think comedians and their borderline fabricated stories), and that there is likely no soul to save or inversion to escape, for someone who is of sound mind knowing that the whole thing is a con. Just like how you can't wake someone who is asleep.

Q: Is a cultural shift against this even possible? Or should people just focus on their community instead of the "open internet"? What are the type of people who would fall for these schemes, and how should one help such hyper-sympathetic individuals?
