you know the personality type thing was overdone and annoying but at least when we had mbti stuff, y’all understood that people having vastly different emotional reactions to things was normal and okay and good, instead of acting like we all have to be happy whimsical hope-drenched silly little bunnies all the time or else we’re not good people.

#like not to be an intj or anything lmao but—#actually it’s very very frustrating to be in a social culture that’s once again becoming very ‘positive happy people are good people!!!’#i spent a long time thinking i was broken and subhuman because I couldn’t be Happy the way other people were #im not keen to welcome that alienation back into my life tbh. and I’d rather not subject more vulnerable kids to it either #because that shit is poison in the system that takes years or decades to air out #I mean I haven’t shaken it yet. it’s really really hard. it grows deep roots #im not saying bring back mbti or enneagram or whatever #I’m just saying. people act like personality is morality and it’s very much not.#aster chat #you don’t have to crush your personality into a socially acceptable shape to be a moral person #please refer back to the comic about the emo goblin guy who looks depressed and makes depressing art #and then it reveals that that heavy shit he’s making is actually saving the people #that all the colorful pretty hot air balloons and cheery art can’t reach
