[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in a Bible group that did this every day. [b]Some people feel like if they express something good that they can ignore their bad feelings.[/b] A lot of older people are quite meme. I would take the meme and [b]just understand it's their way of trying to tell themselves they are a good person and life is worth living[/b]. The alternatives are not good.[/quote]

I've been thinking about this all day. I think you have something here. I've been trying to figure out why my family members do this and why it bothers me so much. My family tends to sweep a lot of painful things under the rug and I could see how they use these memes as daily affirmations of how they want to really feel. I'm expected to also sweep things under the rug and I don't like it but I stay quiet in order to keep the peace. So when these cheerful memes constantly pop up, I think what's happening is I'm reacting to my daily reminder to just be positive, no matter what. I've got to continue working through my reactions while still trying to figure out how to block the messages but thank you for taking the time to share.[/quote]
