lately i’ve been replacing my “i’m sorry”s with “thank you”s, like instead of “sorry i’m late” i’ll say “thanks for waiting for me”, or instead of “sorry for being such a mess” i’ll say “thank you for loving me and caring about me unconditionally” and it’s not only shifted the way i think and feel about myself but also improved my relationships with others who now get to receive my gratitude instead of my negativity

[id: the new dr who logo–the words “doctor who” in all caps in a thin sans-serif font, in gold, with a horizontal line through the stem of the “d” and the horizontal line of the “h” cutting through the final “o”. the logo is centered above gently sloping hills, the silhouette of the thirteenth doctor standing off to the left, and the tardis off to the right. end id]

me reviewing anything: “hm, not bad, but you can tell it was written by a man.”

The reason the culture of ‘depression meme humour’ got big was because it was a rebellious backlash against a dominant social attitude that You Just Weren’t Trying Hard Enough which deliberately swept mental health issues under the rug. Turning ‘positivity’ into the cool new meme is a noble idea, but in practice, unless it’s done with care and understanding instead of just a desire to perform what people in your social circles seem to want to see, all it’s doing is recreating a culture of artificial cheerfulness, where deviation is punishable by ostracization. And that’s not a healthy or ‘positive’ environment for anyone.
I’m usually a big proponent of positive bandwagons – even if people only join them because they see it’s popular, they’re still getting exposure to a thing they might not have otherwise – but if the only reason you’re jumping on ‘positivity’ is so you can make snarky comments about all those losers still wallowing in last year’s meme, rather than out of genuine care and concern for people’s well-being, then there’s nothing at all positive about what you’re doing.
God, thank you… so much for this post.
i read the sentence “abusers groom their character witnesses as carefully as they groom their victims” (in a comment thread in response to a “but i know [the accused] and hes such a nice man!!”) and it’s blowing my mind a weird amount even though i guess i already knew that
