THE DANGERS OF TOXIC POSITIVITY EXPLAINED!

In todays video I explore the world of toxic positivity and when it is more than avoidant of negative feelings but is, in fact, injurious. I also list many of the most ubiquitous platitudes mostly used to minimize the suffering of another.

I see so many people who try to use these sayings all the time and it honestly gets annoying hearing the turn that frown upside down stuff. It’s so annoying. Thank you for pointing this out

Sometimes it’s hard to know when you should give some positivity to someone who seems trapped in their pain. First they need their pain witnessed, and to get compassion for where they are at. Encouragement does a lot more than thoughtless positivity. Or so it seems to me.

This is such a loaded topic…I heard it earlier today and need to truly think through some of the phrases that you stated could be so damaging. The “so-called” minister who blamed you for potentially causing your mother’s passing did so much harm…seriously causing doubt in my mind about that person’s capability to serve others … I agree that those who can only state and see the good are doing an injustice to themselves for not seeing all sides of a situation, for I believe that for everything that is good there is the opposite existing right beside it. I am a firm believer that out of something so diametrically terrible that occurs, something truly good grows from it. I hope that what I’ve written makes sense, for (as I stated earlier) there is so much that needs to be thought through…thank you!
