Mediatized Trauma
There was a sense of disconnection or numbness among the subjects in my research because it's so surreal. It's like the only way that I can handle something this painful is to leave my body or to not feel things. There's this sense of avoidance like you don't want to go on social media. You might not even want to check your email because you just don't know. Your reputation, your legacy, your sense of self is your sense of life. And so many people have been documented, for example, if they've been villainized in reality shows or publicly shamed through other means they either contemplated suicide or committed suicide.
