My experiences being picked on in school and not fitting in warped my entire personality and caused me to have problems with social situations well into adulthood. Some of which I’m still dealing with to this day. Hardly “a light bruise”. I’m sorry for whatever happened to you that makes you feel like people that didn’t suffer as badly don’t deserve to be taken seriously but social issues can absolutely be classified as trauma. It’s not a contest.
