    I said what normies will perceive not what is actually true. Although I will mention that gratitude is actually clinically proven to improve quality of life, but people also tend to frequently confuse it with toxic positivity. The example I have above is technically toxic positivity, but you’re doing little enough of it that the cost benefit analysis works out.

      You might be right, but I’d still rather kill myself than play these weird games for a relationship. So far I’ve been doing ok without WhatsApp in the EU. If they can only talk to me via WA I’m just not talking to them. But then again, my circles are pretty “techy” so most people are OK with it.

      “Practicing gratitude” is unhinged 100% of the time, without exception.
