Yesterday was International Day of Happiness, and I wanted to use the occasion to bring up something that’s come to the forefront of my mind recently: people shaming other people for things they enjoy. There have been many times in recent years when I’ve seen people express excitement for a film/book/TV show/event/piece of media, only… Continue reading International Day of Happiness: When happiness turns to shame
