In
American Beauty, after the daughter had a great cheerleading performance, her mom's praise came in the form of "You barely screwed up!" It was a way to quickly let the audience know what a negative drag the mom was.
If people get the idea that you're a troll, maybe you should take a look at the way you choose to write and how you comment. Because even when you're feeling good your comments are in the "you barely screwed up" mold.
-When something good happens, instead of saying "this is good" you use the format "this is better than that bad thing that I'd like to remind you of."
-When a very ordinary thing happens in an average part of Chicago, you compare it to the best, most notable part of some other city as a way to keep the frame negative.
-When something good happens, it's almost never a step in the right direction but an enemy of a perfect, unrealistic counterfactual.
-When something bad happens, you don't miss the opportunity to bring it up. If two companies move to town and one leaves, you'll only talk about the one that leaves.
