Every time I see the phrase "toxic positivity" my first instinct to contest it, because my first experiences with the phrase were a misapplication (that being positive is somehow toxic,) but so far on Lemmy, I've only seen it used in ways that make sense (the toxic expectation that others will be exclusively positive.)
Fuck you :)
I know this is a joke but my autism is on a roll:
This is an example of passive aggressive behavior, not toxic positivity.
Actually I would call that aggressive passive, because it's very upfront and aggressive, but in a not actually very aggressive way.
Sure thing sweetie :)
(lol)
I like how you needed to demonstrate that you know what passive aggression is.
Autism works in mysterious ways.
... That or I'm still working through an astounding amount of gaslighting from being surrounded by malignant narcissists for a very long time.
Probably both.
Actually I was just being passive aggressive at you for the bit. But it's totally understandable that you didn't notice.
Damnit! I missed it auuuugh!
Bless your heart.
Now we see if you know southern passive aggressive.
I can recognize it, but am not fluent enough to respond in kind.
