I think that sometimes when you're on the receiving end of trauma, it leaves you damaged and well, that's it. Not everyone gets better, or stronger, or uses that experience to become a better person. That's just wishful thinking. Some people just stay damaged, or spiral even further because they don't manage their trauma well, and it affects their relationships and how they treat others, which might create more damage.

Believing that trauma or loneliness imbues you with some sort of special sensitivity to others' pain can be true, sometimes. But I'd go so far as to say that's more rare than common, and trying to cling to the belief that oh no, the trauma made me special and wise is really, really unhealthy. Trauma doesn't make you wise or sensitive. People can grow past their traumatic experiences, but that's through some combination of therapy and hard work on their part to manage their trauma, not the trauma itself.
