Toxic positivity is a "pressure to stay upbeat no matter how dire one's circumstance is", which may prevent emotional coping by feeling otherwise natural emotions. Toxic positivity happens when people believe that negative thoughts about anything should be avoided.
Hello everyone! I hope you're doing well.
I wanted to discuss the topic shown above.
While I do believe we need to try to be optimistic in this life, sometimes things just suck and
you know what? That's totally ok!
There are some people in this life that shoot unicorn farts out their bum. They see rainbows
and sunshine constantly and never see life as it truly is, which can be so debilitating
for those of us who see life as it truly is.
The toxic positivity can be so depressing and draining. It creates such a mental/emotional
burden on those who don't wear rose colored glasses. It's extremely draining.
When you have to deal with someone on a daily basis like this, it has a tendency to
cause a level of depression that can be a struggle. Day after day, week after week, it can
wear a person down.
I have someone like this that I work with on the daily. I can sense a happier & much easier
going day when this person is away from work. No, not just for me personally, but the
day is so much lighter for all involved.
When someone displays toxic positivity, they have a tendency to try to force their fluff
down everyone's throat that they come in contact with.
Do you have someone in your life like this? If so, how do you deal with it?
Do you suck it up and keep going, or did you change jobs?
I love my job, I just don't love the toxic positivity.
May you all create healthy boundaries and live a content, peaceful life.
Blessed Be!
