Toxic positivity

Smile even if it hurts, smile even if you can’t stand it, smile even if you already lost it all. Why? Well, why not? Truly the advice of a madman, or worst; Someone who doesn’t understand not only your pain but pain as a concept itself. You may have just lost your job and with it your livelihood but it doesn’t matter to them. Just smile! It doesn’t work like that though, smiling won’t fix all of your problems. Smiling won’t make it hurt less. Understanding and compassion will, but these people lack understanding. Talk to people who understand not to ignorant fools who’s only struggle was sustaining a minor injury when they were a kid.
