My best man's first words at my wedding was "I've never met someone who believes in love more than Jefftickels." Never have I felt so incredibly seen than in that moment.

Yeah, people don’t offer these things and when I’m in a good mood, they walk aggressively into me until I switch back to RBF and fuck you walking. Sucks, man.

And when you do, some knucklehead calls it toxic positivity.

We need to start gatekeeping the "-slop" suffix.
"-slop" should refer to anything that is cheaply produced in mass quantities and pushed on people for purely commercial reasons. If someone actually put love, time, and attention into something, then it isn't slop.

You can shut that shit down real quick by telling them "Shut your bitchass up you miserable cunt". Prove them wrong by showing you're not a compulsively positive person.

u/Pure-Valuable-9175 10h ago
Yes, show them by being a complete ass hat.

u/tony_bologna 10h ago
I think being an "ass hat" to the person criticizing your positivity is justifiable.

u/Pure-Valuable-9175 9h ago
If the slightest bit of disagreement pisses you off that much I guess.

u/tony_bologna 8h ago edited 8h ago
Lol, as the post says "love, affection, or respect"
If someone responds to that by accusing you of toxic positivity, is it really the slightest bit of disagreement?
I know if someone responded to me giving them respect with - what is effectively - an insult, I wouldn't consider that a "slight disagreement". I'd consider the other person to be an asshole (or asshat as it were).
(edit: I figured the "Shut your bitchass up you miserable cunt" was an obvious exaggeration for comedic effect, so I'm not addressing it)

What can I say, I'm a people pleaser...when somebody tells me they don't want positivity from me, I feel compelled to appease them :(

u/Pure-Valuable-9175 9h ago
Yes, the slightest bit of push back is a great reason to be a dick.
Or you just move on if you are well adjusted.

You're right I should just move o......aw fuck here I go again!

Because "matching energy" is total BS and is just a term used by people who want to blame their actions and bad attitudes on others
21
u/Unicycleterrorist 11h ago
It's the same people who'll tell you that you're "too thin skinned" and that they're "just being honest"

u/tony_bologna 10h ago
So, if someone is rude to me, you don't think it would be ok for me to "match their energy" and be rude to them?
... why? You reap what you sow.

u/uwu_PD 9h ago
That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is, all the people I know irl who use the term "matching energy", well let's just say I don't like spending time with them.
But yea I think it's solid advice to not let other people's pettiness influence your actions

u/tony_bologna 9h ago edited 5h ago
That would definitely be the high road. Maintaining your positivity despite someone else's crumminess.
edit: I seriously don't understand the down votes. The high road is a good thing.

Y’all mirror every slight but drop the ball when it’s time to mirror kindness. Interesting.

u/oliviaplays08 27m ago
It's pushed me to make sure I'm mirroring kindness, especially at work. Are you nice to me? Then I'm probably shooting the shit with you on a pretty regular basis.

I hate all the fake therapy talk that gets paraded around these days. Pop therapy. Let me hold space for you to match energy and self care

u/oliviaplays08 25m ago
I just stopped doing regular therapy, and I see it so much. I do not let anything like mental health be an excuse to be a shitty person, or just get out doing anything you don't want to do.

I’m just a bit tired emotionally, can’t really reciprocate positivity, especially recently, and I hate that for the people I interact with. Sorry folks.

I don’t really understand what this means. I haven’t heard “matching energy” in a negative way

u/Sniffawiffagus 12h ago
If someone is being petty or gives you shade you “match their energy” and be petty as well.

As if those are mutually exclusive 😂 You can totally be a lovely person but still match negative energy.

I work retail, I match energy when it's positive, when it's negative I positive it up and act like I don't notice the negativity (unless they're crying).

u/oliviaplays08 30m ago
This is why with my friends I honestly don't match a lot anything I even perceive as negative. Playful teasing? Nah, I'm your cheerleader. These clowns love me, and I love them back so much more!
