Apparently now if you are just in a good mood, you're toxic.

Toxic positivity

That's actually hilarious. You can't make that up

ENTPunisher · 2020-04-30T23:13:23+00:00

We should all be in a good mood right now:

Bars shut down so no drunkards can congregate
Degenerate public schools and Universities shut down
No pointless talk of useless pro sporting events
Cleaner air and water worldwide
Many have the opportunity to work from home
Families are together. Wives are cleaving to their husbands
Sodomite abortion capital New York City is receiving a fraction of its due justice for lighting up their towers in promotion of late term murder.
Everyone is learning to cook for themselves from scratch.

Plenty to be thankful for

I'm loving quarantine. 2 nights ago I had the best discussion yet with my roommate about religion, the philosophy of choice, and the nature of sin and right and wrong. What an opportunity. I love this kid and just want to see him saved.

On top of that, I wake up, read my bible, read my book, eat a big breakfast, then I play basketball, go for hikes, and practice my instruments all day. Its really fantastic. I fee like I am getting a glimpse of retirement, but I'm still in my 20's.

Everything offends everybody nowadays.

I simply gave up. I'm beginning to see the allure of the solitary life the Christian hermits sought.

If we're not living in fear, we're a lot harder to control. People might become aware that governing organizations around the world are capitalizing on the pandemic to expand their powers. We can't have that now, can we? A fearful populace is a submissive populace.

TeaFaceGuy · 2020-04-30T23:41:04+00:00

I appreciate this. Everything is transient. Thanks.

I've been really bummed out lately seeing this world get locked down and everyone giving in to their fears and sacrificing freedom for security, but it's good to be reminded that, no matter what, there's always the light of God at the end of the tunnel.

I've been thinking lately about how my Faith and the Red Pill have both been such a blessing for me in this quarantine. It prevents me from falling into the victim mentality of letting myself become lazier using the coronavirus as an excuse ("I'll just watch a bunch of TV today, I deserve it because of the coronavirus"). My wife has been so happy to have more time together also, constantly in a good mood and telling me how happy she is. And it looks like others in this thread are having the same experience!

I know other people in my life who are complaining about it, and I feel it's hurting their relationships too. It seems that this is a kind of event that separates the wheat from the chaff, so to say. We all have a choice: to come out of this stronger, or weaker.

I know it's a heartbreaking time for the many people and families directly affected by the virus physically and economically, and we should be sensitive to that. But I am frothing the quarantine.

The family is together, as it should be. We're still working/studying hard but there are clear boundaries between the study room and the lounge. We're taking turns cooking and my sisters and I go for runs and walk the dog daily. Movie nights are great and everyone is together for the Church livestream.

This is one of those times where the men and women who built their lives on the rock of the word are clearly separated from those who didn't. I'm not saying my family is perfect, I'm saying that because of faith in God - we can stand firm and face the unexpected. And not only that, but we can thrive in the challenge.

Dude the APA and the hard left is a cancer.

I remember when I was in college I had to pick a dummy degree to go active duty officer. I picked psychology because it was majority women and I wanted to pick them up (pre-Christian). 99% of those women even if they were pretty were a basket case.

I did like certain experiments in social psychology and I met one or two women there who also hated feminism, but the majority just hate on men. The worst were the discussion classes. It was a bunch of women talking trash about dudes or 250 LB staring at me every time I made snarky comments which I found hilarious.

All psychology does is talks about problems. It does nothing to solve it. The only branch I liked was cognitive and psychosocial psychology. Basically by just changing your thought patterns/actions you fix 99% of problems. But I see I’m getting off topic I’m done ranting lol.

I’m literally the happiest I’ve been... I get to be a full time house wife. I wake up in the morning and make eggs and tomato for my hubby, clean all day, do my makeup, be girly. Cook more complicated dinners for him because I have more time. More relaxed, watch movies together...

Lol talking about being in a good mood in a bad situation maybe refer to Acts 5:41 when the disciples were literally beat up and they skipped away because they felt so blessed to suffer for the sake of the Lord! How much more so will we be joyful to be blessed.

2020-05-16T02:38:13+00:00

This has literally been the best time to be alive! The people who willingly decide to wear the masks ultimately WANT to live in fear & without God. Judging from wha I've seen we only need a small percentage of hardcore followers to carry on. It's sad but not everyone is going to find the way. Narrow is the path after all.

Toxic positivity!? What utter garbage!

It is quite biblical to see the joys of creation even when things are tough.

To look upward towards the Lord and His goodness rather than focusing on the ills of this world.

Please don’t let articles like this ruin your outlook.

These are the same sorts of publishers that honestly believe men sitting with their legs a few inches apart is destroying the world. (Meanwhile ignoring the women who plop their purse on the seat next to them)

Please see this article for what it is: nonsense.

..............How detached from society is everyone that being in a good mood during quarantine is toxic?

Torn4_025 · 2020-05-01T02:15:23+00:00

I shouldn't be gasping at "Toxic Positivity", but some times dumb human beings manage to out do even my most outrageous imagination. I mean really not even the best of trolls could have made this crazy up with a billion rolls of toilet paper.

2020-05-01T14:39:15+00:00

Who gives a d@mn what random eggheads you will never meet think? Not me.

The MSM psyops are becoming more obvious.

"You should feel bad, and even further, be distrustful of anyone who seems to feel good."

Social enforcement of fear and bad mood.

So, sunshine /u/RunawayGrain, are you dyslexic or a moron?

Literally, within the first few paragraphs:

Psychologists, who coined the term “toxic positivity,” point out that the mind-over-matter message isn’t always the right approach, especially when it ignores, suppresses or dismisses negative feelings caused by grief, trauma or mental illness.

This means your Christian values of confidence and optimism are not causal with "toxic positivity".

You have displayed one of the most pitiful, rock bottom forms of intellectual laziness. You don't even have the will to read through the term's definition before jumping to this utterly inane conclusion. Pathetic.

EDIT: The fact that everyone in this subreddit is eating up the OP's words like gospel shows me that this sub's participants possess minimal regard for truth and knowledge. What a shame. If God was truly real, I wonder if He would be more or less content with with such blissful ignoramuses as His worshippers.
