It’s just toxic positivity and bragging. Gratitude is useful for people with bad lives to find something small to cheer themselves up. It’s not for healthy people who love their jobs and their family to flex on the people who can’t think of anything better than overnight oats to be grateful for. This site is not useful for anyone who actually needs help and I hate it.

I don’t believe it is anyone’s intention to brag here. Being grateful and expressing that grattitude does not necessarily equate to showing off. In fact most of the users use pseudonyms so if they really wanted to brag they would’ve done so using Facebook or something. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for sharing!
Just FYI that this post comes across quite aggressively. I assume it wasn’t your intention.

Hope you have a good day.

Looking at the best in everybody. Nice. Thanks for sharing!
