A lot of the social dysfunction of the US can be traced to the uncritical positivity of the culture. It’s practically illegal to be sad. Sadness is a problem to be solved with good ol’ Yankee ingenuity. Eliminated from the collective psyche like a smallpox of the soul.

yeah, same. I also had this notion that if I let myself feel really sad, I wouldn't recover. Turns out it's the opposite, I recover very quickly once I've let myself mourn a bit.
