    Solution: make a social media with one crappy low-res picture of your face, one crappy low-res full body shot of you engaging in a hobby you can talk intelligently about and a couple stock photos of sunsets and other nature pics. Caption all of the nature pics with some variation of “I’m practicing gratitude today! I’m so grateful to the universe for waking up this morning!” You have now revealed nothing they didn’t know already, and have a “social media presence” that appears positive and emotionally well-adjusted to normies. You’re welcome.

        I said what normies will perceive not what is actually true. Although I will mention that gratitude is actually clinically proven to improve quality of life, but people also tend to frequently confuse it with toxic positivity. The example I have above is technically toxic positivity, but you’re doing little enough of it that the cost benefit analysis works out.
