There is often a fine line between helpful and potentially hurtful comments on social media. Here are 5 suggestions that can help you avoid toxic positivity online.
addresses the fine line between helpful and potentially hurtful comments on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
“As a social media user, I was constantly confronted with toxic positive language on Facebook, LinkedIn, and otherservices. I noticed that my Facebook posts mostly received cookie-cutter comments that were overly positive, even when I shared negative experiences.” The next most frequent form of toxic positive language was commands such as, ‘hang in there,’ ‘have faith,’ or ‘don't give up,’ telling users what to do and how to behave.
In other words, claiming that you have ‘everything you need to beat this’ in reply to a post of someone asking for support often does more harm than good. Such language may prevent people from accepting the reality of their diagnosis and can impair their ability to process the negative thoughts and emotions that come with the diagnosis of an illness.
