This is not being broken. This is being a human. It's like calling a car that just rolled out of the factory broken because it will need service and repair over its lifetime.

A fear that makes you avoid some media does not make you broken. Body image issues you work around does not make you broken. Reacting badly to things that remind you of painful parts of your upbringing does not make you broken.

These are problems, challenges, issues, maybe horrible ones. But they are not the person and they do not make the person broken.
