You argument is very egocentric. It's proved that a light penalty system leads to much lower crime numbers. Too bad that so much people look at it from an individual perspective and not from a society one. The great danger of a individualistic society

I think being able to state - here is my trauma and here is how it’s part of my decision making - is pretty brave. It’s the opposite of egocentric. It clearly states a reasonable bias and makes it easier to communicate about sensitive topics.

Not saying that this is the right example, but usually when throwing in some emotional things to get attention is considered egocentric.
