Summary

*TW/CW anxiety, self harm, panic attacks, depression, toxic relationships   Have you ever thought that maybe Debbie Downer is down for a reason? Has she ever tried to tell you that reason? Did you listen? Have you ever stopped to ask “Debbie, why so down?” or did the usual “stop being such a downer” roll right off the tongue? It’s funny! It’s helpful to just remind people that the sun came up again and the world is....the world and that happiness is state of mind- right? Not really. Today we’re talking all about Toxic Positivity and how the “good vibes only” movement has left little room for any other vibes at all. It’s a recipe for shame, guilt, self hatred and isolation for so many people- including Debbie. We hope you listen with an open mind and leave the conversation feeling like all vibes are good vibes.   FOLLOW ALONG WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA- @ladiesandtangents   Videos referenced-  @Vanessa Van Edwards  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcURXP-q21M  @Cinema Therapy  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTVQtsIfoo8  @Kati Morton  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Let36RIVwjg  @Dr. Allison Answers  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2kAkbdS2S4   WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - https://www.ladiesandtangents.com/live-show WE’RE ON CAMEO - https://www.cameo.com/ladiesandtangents WE'RE ON PATREON - patreon.com/ladiesandtangents MERCH - https://ladiesandtangents.kingsroadmerch.com/ *NEW* SUBMIT YOUR STORIES - landtstories@gmail.com FOLLOW ALONG WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA - @ladiesandtangents   GAZA/WEST BANK RESOURCES- https://medium.com/@scholarscoalition/for-immediate-release-u-s-4c2aecd11535 https://irusa.org/middle-east/palestine/ https://buildpalestine.com/2021/05/15/trusted-organizations-to-donate-to-palestine/ https://www.vox.com/2015/5/14/18093732/israel-palestine-misconceptions https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/52045757   Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey guys. I'm Jerry. I'm Sierra. Relatings and we tangent. What's up everyone? I don't know why it feels weird right now to do it on a Thursday. Oh yeah, that's right.

0:29.0

Did I tell you that I had a girl at Starbucks today?

0:33.0

There are sometimes that there's people and I can tell that they're doing that thing where they have to talk to you because they feel like they have to.

0:41.0

Starbucks especially they do that. Yeah, and I know because I've worked in corporate places like they make you managers and stuff so like I know that's why they're doing it.

0:49.0

But some of them do it in a casual way where they're like, so what do you have to do today? And I know other people are like, how are you? What are you going to do for the rest of your day?

1:00.0

I'm like, you don't have to do this. But I'm just looking forward because I'm like, I will look at you when you have my drink here.

1:09.0

You slowly roll the window back up. This girl at Starbucks today. First thing she says, she's like, happy Thursday. Hey, you want to know something weird?

1:20.0

That's how she sucked in immediately. That's how she starts it. I was like, yes, I do. I am invested.

1:26.0

And she was like, have you ever seen, I don't know if you're on TikTok and I was like, I am. We are. And I know you know we were trying to be cool.

1:35.0

Koi still played dumb with me. She was like, I don't know if you have TikTok, but I saw a trick talk one time. That was like things that are the same as each other without like that we don't know why.

1:47.0

It was like Thursday is November. That gives the same energy. But it's awful. Yes. Purple and seven times seven equals 49. That was how she started the conversation. And I was like, do you want to go somewhere?

1:59.0

I would talk to you forever. Yeah. That's how you start a conversation. That's how everybody should start a conversation. It's just like a crazy fact like that. I also feel like horses give big November energy.

2:13.0

Oh my God. Horse Thursday, purple. Yes. That very much is that energy. I would name a horse Thursday, I think. Right. Let's get a horse. Okay. Where are we going to put it?

2:28.0

Oh, the couch. Just climbs up here with mostly. It's me. We have a horse. I just imagined myself entering like the Kentucky Derby.

2:44.0

You just run. No, it's cool. We're from TikTok. I see. It's all part of a joke. You don't get it. We have rich people betting on it.

2:58.0

I'm not a real. You think it's a joke. I'm taking it very seriously. I've been training for months. My whole life. Honestly. One time I my mom really wanted me to run cross country for some reason.

3:13.0

And I was like, yeah, same. I don't run across the house. You want me to run across the country? No, thank you. What are the course coming? I will name my child for us. Yes. Bye.

3:22.0

I don't know about him, but I convinced my basketball coach at the time to tell her that cross country was bad for me.

3:36.0

Sure. He's like, for sure. Since I was running short distances up and down the basketball court, it would be worse for you if you got used to running long distances. Then you just be slowly.

3:49.0

I get it. My muscle memory would be off. And so I got out of running cross country. That way. That's really funny. I did sign up to be in cross country. Why would anyone sign up to be in cross country?

4:01.0

No, my friends maybe do it. And I was such a follower that I didn't do anything. They told me to do it. You guys going to run? I'm fucking running out of grass.
