"Try to come at a trauma survivor with platitudes or toxic positivity, and they'll tell you where exactly you can store those platitudes and toxic positivity for safekeeping. They didn't survive hell to have you regurgitate inspirational Tumblr posts at them." —Glenn Doyle
This is the truth! I have also seen this described as “roleplaying.” Some of us may have grown up in environments where we always had to keep the peace or keep ourselves on the good and positive sides of things so that we could be accepted or feel good and safe about what may have been going on around us. As we grow older, we keep playing these roles, but with the increased demands of life, we will certainly reach burnout and, as Dr. Doyle puts it, drive ourselves crazy.
Take a step back and observe areas in which you may be trying to fill a particular role. Not every environment needs a showrunner or mediator. If things go quiet, let them. If you don’t have a natural reaction or response to something, let yourself be. Don’t exhaust yourself trying to be entertaining. You won’t remain the center of attention forever.
