The psychological phenomenon where two LGBTQ+ individuals share an immediate, reinforced level of trust with one another that is significantly stronger than the trust they feel toward straight individuals. Much like the firewall in a building (or a renovated fire station), it acts as a structural barrier that provides safety, protects the "inner circle," and filters out external judgment or misunderstanding.

Get the The Thomas Brodie-Sangster Effect mug.The ripple effect of positivity is not a new concept, the specific phrasing is a new phrase. The idea of a "ripple effect" has been widely discussed in various fields such as psychology, sociology, and even physics (where it refers to the spreading out of waves from a central point).
In the context of positivity, the ripple effect refers to how small acts of kindness, optimism, or gratitude can spread and inspire others. It's closely tied to the idea of "paying it forward" or the butterfly effect, which suggests that even small actions can have far-reaching consequences.
The phrase "ripple effect of positivity" draws upon common ideas in the domains of emotional and social contagion, where positive emotions or behaviors can spread similarly to how a ripple spreads in water
