might be unpopular but
"self care"/"be positivity" constantly being spouted on social media.
I'm a huge advocate for caring for you as a priority but the "always positive" brigade are the worst. It's just not realistic. Sometimes life is tit but you've got to get on with it. Self care is acknowledging that you're going through a rough patch but it's still paying the bill or doing the washing or tackling your to do list. It's not just bubble baths and candles. saying "be positive" constantly does sweet FA.
(Disclaimer: I am by no means telling those with mental health issues who struggle to do basic tasks to get on with it. I have had depression and there were times when getting out of bed felt like running a marathon. I'm just talking about those days when you feel a bit crappy and the people in general who just spout be positive.)
I agree with you whole heartedly.
My feel is that a lot of this intense “super positivity” on social media is very false and disingenuous.
I also feel like it’s creating a culture of people who can’t differentiate between online and real world. Online they have “safe spaces” where they can have “trigger warnings” for their “struggles/triggers” and if they get any (and I mean any) dissent/challenge/constructive feedback on their “platforms” they scream“TROLL” and then delete, block and #cancel.
This leads to a false sense of security.
THen the REAL WORLD happens to these delicate souls... and well they just are not resilient enough to cope.
