What's "toxic positivity"? it's the belief that any negative emotions should be ignored at all costs. This can be harmful because it can make people feel like they have to suppress their emotions, which can lead to bigger issues.
Toxic positivity can also make people feel like they're not allowed to have negative emotions, which can make them feel ashamed when they express any kind of sadness or frustration. It can also make it difficult to connect with others because they're always trying to put on a fake smile and not being real about how you really feel.
Natural positivity, on the other hand, is a more balanced approach. It acknowledges both the good and the bad, but ultimately chooses to focus on the good.
It allows us to see the silver lining after you acknowledge what went wrong and it can help you embrace your emotions in a healthy way.
Ignoring or downplaying negative emotions can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms, which can ultimately lead to more problems.
So, next time you're feeling down, don't ignore your emotions but try to find the positive in every situation.
