Do you spread positivity as much as possible irl? 2

I Was just thinking about this. Every day I go to work I ask every single co worker I walk into how their day has been. I notice most people are depressed/tired and always keep to themselves but since I've been working and being positive(even tho deep down I am not but I'm trying my hardest) everyone's mood as a whole has slowly been lifting. I'm going to keep positive no matter what happens and treat every person I meet with respect and kindness to follow in my fathers footsteps. It really is infectious. It has taken a couple months but I really am noticing a positive change in the community because of my actions. I hope it causes a chain reaction of positivity that reaches everyone

No, not as actively as possible. That would be an indiscriminate expenditure of my own vitality. You can't help anyone until you help yourself.

Well, I want to after coming down from mushrooms and during the following days. It is important what you do I think. Reminds me to be less selfabsorbed. I do try to spread some positivity though, but maybe my methods aren't the best

Being positive is a good thing. But I don't see the point in forcing a smile on my face, when I am in fact not feeling positive.
Also I live in a place where you ask 'how are you doing' and you either don't get a reply or people say 'I am fine' even though you can clearly sense that they aren't. I stopped asking because I don't see the point.
However, if you mean doing positive things even though it's not your day I am totally with you.

Yes I do as much as humanly possible partially to make up for not feeling positive internally. I know things can be positive and so I spread that but don't feel it sometimes. Also when bad shit happens I'm not annoyingly positive

I used to, but since the quarantine began, I barely see anyone in person anymore. No real opportunity. God I can't wait for this shit to be over.

I didnt say help :p I said just ask how they are. It's the smallest gesture yet it makes them feel like they matter.

Positive reinforcement is sometimes hard for some people on the receiving end of it. Especially when you are around toxic people as the messenger. I always try to give people solid advice. Now that I'm not strung out from being in a toxic environment, I'm not sure the message is as clear since it's not coming from a place of distress and experience. It's way easier to accept people where they are, however. But if I know something you don't, it's doing a diservice to the person and anyone they associate with if I withhold that information.
I'm absolutely more positive at the shroomery in general than elsewhere though because it's easier to digest and articulate what I mean.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

i will be blunt.
i absolutely despise hearing "how's your day been?".
hear me out!
every time i hear that, i will answer with "fine." or "ok i guess."
ask me if i'm living the dream" and you're likely to get a "nope, i'm not casting any spells or having adventures, so i'd say i'm not living the dream at all."
see, the thing is...i really, really hate mundane day to day crap. i don't want to talk about the weather. i hate small talk. i hate sports. i hate talking about cars, about girls (especially since i'm into guys <_<), about work... what i like to talk about, is the unusual.
the latest science discoveries. philosophy. stories. interesting hobbies you've picked up. newness, even (and especially) if it's weird. i don't care if your new thing is wiccan rituals, for crying out loud, so long as its not about trying to convert me and simply discussing the background and culture of it. i love learning new things, and discussing them with you, and comparing them to other things i've learned about! the world is full of interesting things!
but, gods, please, don't bore me with small talk. you won't cheer me up. you'll simply get a roll of the eyes. tempt me with your stories, and encourage me to tell my own, and you will bring a sparkle to my eyes in a way no simple "hows your day going" ever will.

Yeah i definitely get much more of the impression that people are just doing it for their own sake when they are trying to 'spread positivity' to me. Dont wanna deal with their gay ass hippy small talk just so they feel better about themselves. Them asking me how my day has been is nothing short of an awkward inconvenience, not a mood lifter.
