I’m telling myself that toxic positivity is deeply embedded in American culture, going back centuries. But I don’t have to go along with it. Ironic, given that it’s also an individualist culture. Yet we slap a smile on everything. It’s not culturally acceptable to express “negative” thoughts or feelings. But I do it anyway.

And I have to process things, even good things.

The landlord wants us to start paying online. I’m anxious about it as I hate technology. More terms and conditions, another privacy policy. So I’m processing THIS.
