Nah, I don’t respect the parts about it being temporary and me being able to beat it too much either. I don’t mind the drive-by positivity as such, but assuming I’ll ever be able to get better when the reality is different does not make absorbing the positivity very easy.
I see it just as positive vibes. It’s someone throwing a bottle in the ocean hoping it will reach someone who might the message inside it.
I can totally understand the other way around though, it can feel invalidating like behing told that sleeping 8 hours, meditating 15 minutes per day and eat well will solve every single of your problems when you have to deal with a crippling condition every single day of your life. It can be infuriating.
I try to focus on the non-verbal narrative and tell myself that it’s just a person sending positive vibes in their own way.
Am I the only one that these empty platitudes make feel worse??
How are people happy to be told all that, based on nothing at all. Cause and effect, if there’s no cause the effect is invalid.
