You actively have to decide that “it is what it is” is negative, or shady. There are plenty of ways to interpret that statement, including “it speaks for itself” and “I don’t know what to say about it,” and there are 100 different reasons why someone might not be able to find the right words. All I know is that the people in my life who actually try and have good intentions are special people to me, but they’re imperfect, so I give a lot of grace, and it pisses me off when people who don’t know them give them none, so I try to at least offer the same to people whose actions have earned that.
I used to get upset and feel the need to say something by every poor word choice or imperfect expression of what someone thinks, even if the intent was good. That’s just not a fun road to live on.

I think I said something like it stood out to me and I didn't like it. But not that it's negative or shady, it just kinda sucks.
But, respectfully, I'm kinda sick about talking about this.
