Reply to comment by Suyefuji in [Image] "Toxic Positivity is Forced..." - Susan David by true90sstory

It's debatable right? Probably at the age I am nobody shares any pain unless they are looking for an advice or solution or comfort. They want that positivity in their life which they have forgotten in that moment. In my experience (I'm not THAT old) women want to vent, but guys are looking for support.

I've never had anyone get upset at me for asking which they want and I'd rather know than guess

Like I said. Debatable. Just the idea of toxic positivity is mildly infuriating, I mean I do what I do out of goodness of my heart. Not to get internet or brownie points. It's genuine all the way. I'll shut up now.

I understand that it's that way from you, but there are definitely people who exhibit toxic positivity in a really nasty way and also people who have been subjected to that enough to be sensitive about it.

Indeed, if people are writing about it I'm sure this must be the case. I was speaking from my POV only.
