It can feel that way sometimes especially if no one else will say anything, but I feel like we keep getting told that things are "taboo" topics and often they're the things that need to be sanely talked about the most, and that if more frank (and gentle because hard) discussions like that were going on (and if we were in fact taught HOW to have those discussions instead of being metaphorically screamed at that we should never talk about them ever because no one wants to know) there might be less problems in general.

I could also just be projecting onto the wrong things :)
