Fake positivity free zone

[CarpCharacin]

Personally, I get irked by enthusiastic but artificial-feeling displays of delusional "positivity", e.g., "every individual is unique / special / awesome in their own way" and other similar garbage. So I thought I'd start a thread for individuals who feel the same way. Feel free to talk about whatever you want, just adhere to the spirit of the thread.

Stuff like that feels fake. Like they are on autopilot and said the first thing that came to mind. Not that they actually care.

of course everybody is unique, why do you need to tell me that again?

Everyone is at least somewhat unique, but not necessarily in a way that's good, or even meaningful at all.

Your profile picture is definitely unique. What's the meaning behind it?

I think that everyone or almost everyone has something unique about them (from using one synonym instead of another to DNA makeup and fingerprints to how they react to tragedy), but whether or not that unique aspect is good depends. I, for example, cluck when I get excited -- this could be funny to someone, or incredibly annoying.
I do think that we're all, at our base, the same. We're all people, and we're all going around in the world. As someone my parents knew would say, "We're just a boil on the ass of progress."
(This being said, I do value every life, but that could just be my religion speaking ).

Yes, exactly.

I think it's fairly self-explanatory!

I don't agree

Putting on a calm face while you're crying on the inside?

I don't get it, but I'll keep trying.
