Being optimistic and positive is undeniably beneficial for mental health and general wellbeing. As we know, having a positive mindset helps us deal with stress, etc. At the same time, though, we need to stay aware that society establishes toxic positivity as a norm pushing us to hide our flaws, struggles, failures, and negative emotions. Doing that, we are failing to address the basic human experiences such as pain, sadness, anger, etc. Keep in mind that healthy positivity needs to be the norm, which means that you need to acknowledge that we equally need both positive and negative emotions to live a healthy, authentic life. Have you heard about this phenomenon before? Do you know someone with these patterns of behavior?
