[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you prefer toxic negativity? Let’s hope your therapy works. [/quote] Oh, so if your friend or neighbor got a terminal cancer diagnosis, you wouldn't honor that reality, you'd just be like, "I'm sure your team of doctors is WRONG and you'll be doing cartwheels by next Sunday!"? Or would you wish them well in a realistic and authentic way? "I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you are facing, and I hope your treatments help and that you are comfortable. I am available to do X or Y or anything that might be helpful." Do you see the difference between toxic positivity and simply being there for someone?[/quote] That’s completely different. Does she want her friends to say she will be miserable being divorced and that she will be living in low income housing? Ideally, her friends would give her suggestions for how to deal with her concerns but most people are at a loss for what to say. [/quote]
