Toxic Positivity

[robust patrol]

How do i convince them that issues cant be solved by acting like they don't exist?

[viscid willow]

Dam maybe you need a new friends

[robust patrol]

eh i tried but i usually run into the same issues

[viscid willow]

Well I don't know what to tell you I have pretty chill friends to support all my actions and sexuality and etc but good luck

[robust patrol]

luck is one thing i dont have

problem is i have a lot of health issues and people dont wanna deal with that

sorry to hear that, ive found someone in one of the darkest places ive ever been mentally and we have some similar issues and some very different ones, for us it comes down to being honest even if its uncomfortable, we have a deep connection and dont judge no matter what, we ask questions and maybe its because we are both insane in our own way, but it works out

[robust patrol]

im usually honest

Has this been communicated with them about the way support is being shown sounding dismissive? Sometimes when people try to be nice, but have a hard time saying they’re unable to help you emotionally, it can lead to mishaps like this. Wish ya luck

[robust patrol]

Yes

I hope you find friends who can offer a shoulder to lean on, sorry about that dude

[robust patrol]

I don't need a shoulder to cry on. I just want them to look past my flaws is all

It's ok

There was maybe one friend that did but it's complicated

oh my… i used to be this kind of person. maybe they haven’t realised that constantly looking at the brighter side of things doesn’t fix everything. either way, i hope they get to realise that soon, or that you can find someone who will listen to you without dismissing your feelings. wishing you all the best 🫂
