        The new happiness epidemic that the media tries to sell you. She has bought it. Life is not a Disney movie. Sadness, anger, jealousy etc are normal emotions that you should have.Don't feel ashamed or guilty as long as these emotions aren't toxic or draining to you or ppl around

        I think she is speaking directly to the toxic situations. Victim mindset is real and from my experience she’s spot on. It’s not about the happiness lie (which I agree with 💯). Just because I don’t want to be around toxicity doesn’t mean I’m happy all the time.

        Maybe she’s not applying this as broadly as I think she is, but I don’t agree with this. The people I know who are the most toxic are usually the ones who refuse to admit weakness or pain and are “no negativity” & end up projecting pain they won’t admit they have on everyone else

        You have compassion by trying to show them how they can help themselves. But at some point it’s about personal responsibility and again, can’t change anyone or force them to see the light, period.

        Sounds more like someone not interested in helping a friend and lacking in compassion and rationalizing it. It's selfishness trying to pass itself as virtue. But hey, i hope it sees her through the rough days, there are always bad times.

        The comfort zone is a place of death! No growth happens there. Change is painful and uncomfortable but the end result is worth it. So you should not give up and let the negative things that happened in your life define you - you deserve muuuch better!
