Second-Hand Trauma
When someone doesn't understand a heavy topic, their instinct to avoid creating damage is far stronger than their desire to learn. No one wants to be the bad guy, so anyone that hasn't been forced into an understanding via life circumstances will typically choose one thing above all other options: silence and distance. The burden of reaching out then falls to the damaged, who struggle with an inordinate amount of silent, energy-sapping challenges as it is.
