Nobody was going to do it for me, I had to figure it out for myself.
I thought that maybe if I got it just right, I could be loveable. I had to have the right mindset, and it was going to be POSITIVE dammit. #toxicpositivity #manipulation #scripttheory #survivor #writer

It will never not blow my mind that we are being ruled by some of the worst monsters to ever walk the earth, and people are still just carrying on like everything’s totally normal.
Hannah Arendt is rolling over in her grave. Every day, the 1% say the most insane things that anybody in modern history has ever said, and many folks are just like, "Lovely weather today."
I get the importance of not crashing out, but there are real problems when some just pretend everything is going great in the West.

What toxic positivity looks like... "It could be worse..." "Stay positive!" "Happiness is a choice" "It happens for a reason" "Good vibes only!" "You will get over it"

Things that can be equally true

Saying someone can't be sad because someone else may have it worse is like saying someone can't be happy because someone else may have it better.

What if “positivity” isn’t just a mood, but a constraint on thought? Looking at how enforced optimism flattens disagreement, discourages scrutiny, and quietly narrows what can be said—or even considered. When critique itself starts to feel like a violation, it’s not kindness winning out—it’s inquiry being sidelined.

I had an idea to make a photobook with some of my landscape photos ... many of them are ideal for the kind of motivational/spiritual posters you see 🤮, so I wanted to make a kind of 'spiritual parody' book.
Would love some feedback on my first 3 examples ....

While positivity can be a good thing, going too far can create a toxic environment where other's feelings are not taken into consideration. As with all things, balance is key. #toxicpositivity #feelings #balance #environnement #life

Someone save me from the Business-Positive Optimistic Student Emails.
"I am aware that you sent instructions for filling out my course schedule, but I'm sure this will suffice!" [sends completely unusable schedule missing half the key information]
"I look forward to working with you to resolve this issue!" [They missed a test, have no documentable excuse, and waited two weeks to contact me]
"I'm confident we can work out a satisfactory solution!" [They're getting an F in the course and it's week 8 of the semester]

I think there is pressure on people to turn every negative into a positive, but we should be allowed to say, 'I went through something really strange and awful and it has altered me forever.' By Marian Keyes

When I was actively traumatized for over a decade and was constantly in fight-flight-freeze-mode, all my teachers called me lazy.
When I had a 4 year long depression with anhedonia, my mom called that tiredness.
When I had a PAIS two times for 3 months with fatique syndrome, my mom called that tiredness.
Now I have a burnout my mom tells me "just make sure you don't fall back into that tiredness".
All my life I am an extrovert with social phobia and people keep telling me to get out of my comfort zone.
How do I get out of something that doesn't exist?#mh #ph #ToxicPositivity #NotJustSad #NotJustTired #NotJustShy

The only people who have tried giving me unrequested, unwanted advice about how I should be cheerier & more positive - are hella privileged white folks with #ToxicPositivity & who don't really know me well at all.
If they knew me better - they'd not be trying to shove their toxic positivity crap towards me whatsoever. They'd understand that I'm a pretty happy person, despite all my ongoing life struggles. They'd know I've already lived through multiple living nightmares, survived to still smile & find pockets of simple joys, daily. They'd realize that I can deal with harsh realities & still find/hold rays of hope. They'd recognize that they're in need of realistic grounding help & to cease pushing their toxic, unrealistic, 24-7 positivity shit on others around them.
