The relentlessly cheerful and upbeat guys who get my goat are motivational speakers.

But why would you ever listen to a motivational speaker?

That’s a good point. One of my mates back home is one. I had to remove him from Facebook because of his incessant positive memes.

It could be a cry for help. Maybe you should reach out?

My mum had an acqaintance like this. She would laugh and clap and say, “oh, what fun!” if the apocalypse was nigh.

Had a nervous breakdown in her mid 50s and ended up being sectioned.

the faith community likes
to make single people look bad to a point that
if you are at a certain age and not married, they
will either ostracize you or do and say all kinds
of things to give you a bad name.

Oh, you’re a Mormon?

sectioned?? must be a s. african word. You mean quartered like the chinese used to do?

Indeed many who appear cheerful and happy all the time are harboring deep sadness.

Who says that clowns are happy themselves?
Many , even most are not.

I do wish there was a magic switch that we all could use to just not feel hurt when love dies…that is to say love dies in the person we love…and doesn’t die in us for that person.

It takes me about ten years to get over a true love. Have had a few true loves mind you and that meant a lot of “wasted” decades.

Wish we could just let them go like yesterday’s newspaper at the bottom of the canary’s cage…and remember that yesterday is gone forever…tomorrow is yet to happen…we only have today…so enjoy best we can…and stop remembering those who belong to yesterday.

I was playing a dvd recently of a long lost love. And strangely i finally felt no pain …because i realized that THAT person in that dvd is no longer the same person today as she was then…and even though I like to think i was the same person perhaps I am not either.
And strangely instead of a sense of loss? I felt that the person in the dvd was still mine, because the “phyical” person is no longer…but the metaphysical “her” is still the same…with me in my heart

Mentally ill people who are at harm to themselves or others can be detained under Section 4 of the UK Mental Health Act. So, people get ‘sectioned’.

Toxic positivity is insincere positivity. People use it to ignore suffering, supposedly.

But…fake it 'til you make it is such a good catchphrase!

Section 4 in the UK is similar to Section 8 in the U.S. Double the fun?

wait doesnt section 8 means the govt pays your housing?? thats what i thought it meant…many landlords rent only to section 8 people. because the rent is guaranteed by the fed govt.

Yes, but Section 8 also became slang referring to people with mental problems in general.
