I survived a terrorist attack in the past (not 9/11 but conversations about 9/11 always remind me about it). The weird thing is how neutral the memories are, it’s just a thing that happened. I know many survivors deal with mental health repercussions and the fact that I was just happy to be alive makes me feel like some kind of sociopath.

Great for you. I grew up in a rough area of the US. It was pretty normal to have been held at gun point or shot at from far away. Doesnt change life unless you obsess over it. I kind of laugh to myself how trivial 9/11 was in terms of numbers of people to population. Israel went through per capita losses like this weekly. No memorials there, just get out the hose to wash it off and keep on living.

I know what you mean. I feel like people in most of the US deal with very little real violence (lots of bravado and violent talk though). And that’s great - how it should be! But yeah I guess you cope better with the aftermath if violence is perceived as a more mundane part of life.
