“Being positive at all times.”
“I’m Greek and I was raised with the mentality that life is going to be hard sometimes. This year, I’ve had two different American friends tell me they’re trying everything to be happy and positive within a week of a break-up, and it wasn’t working. My suggestion that they ‘be sad for a while, because that’s what’s going to happen, and that way you can grieve the relationship and actually heal,’ was met with complete non-comprehension.
The idea of sitting with sadness for a while after an objectively sad event is actually the normal, healthy response, yet it sounded completely nuts to them. I love a lot of stuff about U.S. culture, but have never met a culture so intolerant to any feeling other than happiness.”
