I fucking hate peoples fake ass, toxic ''positivity''

[SuicidalSheep]

It's the bane of my existence. Makes me feel like I'm going insane.

Every fucking day. It's the same. The same.

All the empty platitudes, cliches, stock phrases it's all so tiresome

Often while trying to justify, ignore,invalidate and rationalize or cope with things that shouldn't be.

They are so shallow and full of themselves. I can't stand those kinds of people either. They tend to blame victims and be self-righteous and self-aggrandizing. But most of all, they are fucking hypocrites. I hate having to listen to their empty feel-good platitudes as if I haven't heard them a gazillion times already. "Be positive!" "Don't be depressed!" "Try to look at the bright side of things!" "Everything happens for a reason!" Just shut the fuck up already you cunt. Why can't we just admit that things are shit and that they'll most likely never get any better?

Those people are basically giving us an ultimatum. Either swallow the positivity bullshit, shut the fuck up or be ostracized.

I very much hate it as well, such a thing is just so incredibly irritating and just invalidates the cruel reality of this existence. I believe that people who say things like that are likely so blinded by their privileges and delusions to the point that they are unable to have a realistic view on how hellish this world is, and I just think that toxic positivity is something that is so incredibly insensitive and harmful. That kind of mindset just leads to more suffering being experienced.

Yes. It's never addressing the core issue. It's all virtue-signalling, horseshit.

Some aren't even consciously aware of it. It's spread like a virus, a poor cope.

Same: it's as if people are only capable of seeing things from their viewpoint—that if life is good for them, then it can't be that bad for everyone else … hence the useless platitudes.

I've been told I'm toxically positive, but the truth is I'm trying to just help people make sure they are sure of the choice they are going to make. I don't want to "Just be happy" or "Be positive". If you know the context of my story you'll realize I'm just trying to ease my own pain by trying ease someone else's. I get flak all the time over it. Don't worry I'll be gone in a maximum of 13 months anyway so who cares. I've been through shit. I'm tired of going through the pain. I've been abused all of my life. The first time I was ever happy was a 9 month window last year. It was also the first time I had a dream about the future. I fucked up and my downfall could have been prevented. To make matters worse I got a reality check. "(3C) Stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer... We can't remove it via surgery... I'll give it to you straight (3C) chemotherapy has a very low success rate...I would spend the next 13 months with your loved ones." I haven't ctb yet because I don't want to hurt my loved ones. However every waking moment is excruciating because of both physical and emotional pain. I just wanted to be a spark of what I wanted most...hope

Edit: yeah yeah yeah just another sob story. I just thought I could be a spark of hope for some people before I go. I understand the hate towards toxic positivity. It's annoying and some people value life over everything. They cling to it even though it's pointless or painful. That's not me. I just want the pain to stop, but I don't want to hurt anyone.

Maybe it could really help recovery subforum people! I don't know

For the same reason I still can't go near that subforum. I remember how irl recovery addicts treated me. If their fake positivity didn't work, next stop: insults and violence

I'm sure your positivity's real. It's just the subforums are basically tags that help people know what's most helpful

Man, recovery addicts, eh? They cling to that raft and beat everyone they used to know over the head with it. The cure becomes the new drug.
