anyone else seeing a lot of "toxic positivity" post in here lately? Bit of a rant and maybe I'm just getting bitter haha but I seem to be noticing an increase in posts minimising peoples experience here lately. Like "you just have to want to be fluent enough" posts and "your stutter doesn't matter, don't let it control you" Its OK to feel the struggle of something that affects most aspects of your life. Its like saying to depressed people they should choose to be happy. They really get under my skin.
