How TOXIC POSITIVITY Is RUINING Your LIFE

Have you ever felt pressure to smile, even when you’re feeling down? You’re not alone. In a world that loves to promote “good vibes only,” many people ignore their true feelings. Shockingly, research shows that 70% of adults experience anxiety or depression at some point in their lives. Yet, many choose to mask these feelings with a fake smile.
Toxic positivity is the idea that you should always be happy and positive, no matter what. While optimism can be helpful, this pressure to be “positive” can backfire. Ignoring your true emotions can lead to stress, anxiety, and even physical health problems. A study from the Journal of Happiness Studies found that suppressing negative emotions can increase feelings of loneliness and sadness.
But what if I told you that feeling sad, angry, or confused is not just okay, but necessary? In this video, we’ll dive deep into how toxic positivity affects your life and mental health. We’ll explore why embracing your emotions—both good and bad—leads to real growth.
Join me as we uncover the hidden dangers of forced happiness and learn how to cultivate true emotional well-being. It's time to break free from the chains of toxic positivity and start living authentically!

I am struggling with this toxic positivity now. I want to call some people with power and position out but my better judgment causes me to be cool. The thing is I don't work for them.
