I love this question, although in different context it will make me mad.
I personally feel sense of empowerment.
I am not if it requires response
As many helpers on Earth, only, I, have been in my life , I assume from beginning..π€π
Outside resources are critical
I am person who has to deal with me when rest world gone home for day. It is only ever going to be me, & i owe it, to my own beautiful person who has bought me this far, a million lifetimes of gratitude.
At end of day, basically, ..
Me ..
I have supported myself by reaching out here & by being brave enough share
I am building my way to place where doing nothing is not only acceptable, I actually designed to be happy, relaxed, at peace xx

Hey @StanD Good to see you.
Affirmations can really help us redirect our thinking more constructively. It sounds like you are doing better. I have a girlfriend in real life who dresses up and won't leave the house without makeup. When she is looking fab she is usually hiding a lot of negative feelings. She looks fab most of the time.
@TAB hey
We all seem to have different ideas on what is helpful or positive or toxic. I have used plenty of darn skills but try and be careful... There isn't one right way...

Thanks for your input everyone,
@Glisten @Appleblossom thankyou sooo much for feed back
Toxic Positivity.
This is how I see things.
I have my own sad stories, feelings of worthlessness etc.
So, 48 years of bad wiring, basically.
I don't need to agree,
Being suicidal
Is very hard battle to continue fighting every day, & I know, that I definitely not the only person who feels this way.
Once I realise my brain only computer, I see, yes - this what interesting to me.
I can see, how, ppl may not appreciate or feel threatened to open ones heart to life
It not toxic
I will actually ask you to consider - only consider, U definately don't have to do anything you feel uncomfortable with, perhaps you may, reconsider your phrasing. I am only asking, becoz, this website is for everyone, & becoz a post does not 'fit' you, that does not entitle you to criticise, or "label'.
I don't want anyone reading to be hurt by your comment.
No one on earth need ever question positive energies
I hope I have been able to express myself in easy bake recipe
Ok, I will like to post some more now.
It is a process, I enjoy getting to use my creativity.
Some of the word, I never contemplated to begin to think good of myself.
I am not damaged,
I am complete person

Straight up. darn right.

You are all being silly
Since when, pos affo's, ever been described as 'toxic'
All I trying to do is help myself & share.
I don't need this crap, on mh website.
How many visitors, are now jaded by the negative comments?
I am actually appalled, that anyone respond.
I will start a new thread and I will continue posting, becoz, I know, FACT,my posts help way more ppl, than I have been given respect for.
I forget what else.
@Glisten a throw away phrase.
Do you know what it is?
Perhaps, I am incorrect in its meaning?
