I don't think "terrible" and "weak" go together. I think it's wrong to call seriously traumatized people "terrible".

You’re moving the goal posts. Nobody said seriously traumatized anywhere

I took it as the implication. That could have been mistaken. If it was, then okay, but what then did you mean? (And the goalpost moving is thus not intentional, even if still a matter of fact.)

Yeah, I agree. They don't necessarily go together. But often (very traumatized/mentally ill people) are actually terrible for others...maybe not always intentionally.

Perhaps, but that's not the same as "weak", either. Also, when it's that extreme it absolutely needs a competent mental health professional handling it, not a layperson or moralizer (punisher, like in a jail, where they deliberately deny people treatment as a way to exact "society's just retribution" upon them, something I'd rather undermine.).

When you're not healthy, you are less capable of dealing with live than other people. So you are weaker. Like, I actually have a toothache right now and I feel pretty weak.
