#toxicpositivity

@RickiTarr #ToxicPositivity is actively harmful.

And asking someone marginalized to stop talking a about their lives simply because you don't think their wellbeing matters as much as your discomfort with extending a bit of compassion...

Is plain wrong.

Choosing to be a good person is not pleasant....
But in terms of confidence, and being comfortable with yourself as a human being..
Is incomparably superior to the alternative of wanting everyone to be NICE!

Meine Gedanken zu einem
Text von @Rundumgedanken auf fb:
Ich bin in meinen Alltag ein optimistisches, fröhliches Mensch & kann über vieles lachen, sowie mich an vielen kleinen Dingen dankbar freuen.
Aber es gibt (auch ohne Depressionen) Dinge, wozu ich nicht schweigen kann & ich muss es auch verbalisieren, wenn ich frustriert, traurig oder wütend bin.
Ich kann auch nicht ständig "Tralala" singen, Glitzerstaub ...

Hoe zeg je dat je nooit bent misbruikt zonder te zeggen dat je nooit bent misbruikt. #toxicPositivity #forgiveness

Ik wil gerust vergeven, maar dan moet die persoon dat ook wel verdienen.

Rot op!

Op het blad een dag later stond een vergeefoefening. Die triggerde mij zo erg, dat ik bijna de kalender in zijn geheel in de vuilbak gooide.

"In the thirty years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law, the lives of disabled people have not improved nearly as much as activists and politicians had hoped. In Crip Negativity, J. Logan Smilges shows us what’s gone wrong and what we can do to fix it.

Leveling a strong critique of the category of disability and liberal disability politics, Smilges asks and imagines what horizons might exist for the liberation of those oppressed by ableism—beyond access and inclusion. Inspired by models of negativity in queer studies, Black studies, and crip theory, Smilges proposes that bad crip feelings might help all of us to care gently for one another, even as we demand more from the world than we currently believe to be possible."

#BadHabits of #Capitalism's captives: #ToxicPositivity edition.

"Happy" is relative to something.

If the "something" is self-involved #NARCISSISM, get help.

In a webinar on hiring people with #disabilities, speaker Tammy Durden shared a quote on #ToxicPositivity from Stella Young:

"No amount of smiling at a flight of stairs has ever made it turn into a ramp. Smiling at a television screen isn’t going to make closed captions appear for people who are deaf. No amount of standing in the middle of a bookshop and radiating a positive attitude is going to turn all those books into Braille. It’s just not going to happen."

This is why I can't just quit Facebook entirely. There's a Facebook group called "Just Say No to Toxic Positivity," and people share items like this one.

@Forbes deleted their toot but still it's best if we keep a wary eye out for #ToxicPositivity

@melindrea @actuallyautistic
Thanks for sharing such useful info!
I just took those tests but haven't gotten the results yet- good luck to us all- whatever that looks like!

(IMHO diagnosis is not only a version of empathy/ vindication, but also a door to possibilities of a vastly improved "quality of life! Of course that may be a "silver lining" tactic, speaking as a ubiquitously depressed "juvenile onset diabetic" 😉)

As someone who has spent much of my professional life in #nptech (i.e., #nonprofit #technology), I have to acknowledge that my experience is congruent with what you are saying.

Often, there's a problem with the #OrganizationalCulture of the sector. Moreover, the culture of #philanthropy looms over it, requiring only positive news.

Interesting point! Unfortunately, I don't know how to explain #ToxicPositivity to someone who had not experienced it firsthand. Perhaps someone else can explain it, or perhaps we need another term to describe it, since "toxic positivity" might seem to be a facile paradox.

Hyper-positive people
are exhausting…

…and unconvincing…

#ToxicPositivity

If you say 'battling mental health is hard' into a mirror 3 times, a person with a live, laugh, love picture in their home will appear behind you and ask if you've just tried thinking more positively and going outside.
