Are You Gaslighting Yourself?
I think it's david cooper rider who says that words become our world, you know. I have a friend who's so particular about language, and when i didn't understand the importance of language, i used to get annoyed by him. But then as i dove into the importance of the words we choose, you start to see that, as you said, the pollyanna sort of overt positivity is not grounding. It's not, you can't trust someone who's overtly positive either, because it feels so contrived. You're basically gas lighting yourself. And you aren't showing up to your job.
