sometimes that “positive energy” shit is actually just complete insensitivity https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤡" title="Clown face" aria-label="Emoji: Clown face">

go be avoidant elsewhere (avoidant, yes, bc this behavior is actually just fear of being anything other than a cheerful clown) and let people feel things.

(this is specific to the current crisis, but honestly in general I feel like “positive energy” is hardly ever communicated in a way that doesn’t promote shame and dismissal but anyway)
