- eyelidlessness 5y agoWhich aspect is uniquely American, toxic positivity behavior or feeling harmed by positivity the rest of the world finds innocuous or helpful?
- mrjangles 5y agoThe over the top levels of positivity but without substance that is common in America. It kind of goes hand in hand with a culture where saying things directly is looked down on. It is considered socially unacceptable to say things directly in America, so one should always try to fluff everything over with vague, feel good terms and code words. Anyway, I shouldn't have called it a 'problem' as Americans are completely fine with that, and they like it that way. My only point is the behavior the author of the article is talking about only happens in America.
