Writing on the craft of language, communication, and the reader’s mind. From the editing team.
"At least it's not worse" is meant as comfort, but psychologists who study what's become known as toxic positivity have found that skipping straight to the silver lining, before someone's felt heard, tends to make them talk less about what's actually bothering them, not more.
