01 Jun Toxic Positivity Only Holds You Back
”I’m not a fan of fake “toxic” positivity. It usually robs a person of the chance to grow through facing reality.”
Reflection:
Escaping reality only leads to an inability to handle such things in the future, and toxic positivity is simply a way of escaping reality. By pretending and acting like everything is okay, you rob yourself of the chance to grow through facing the struggles in front of you.
Instead of toxic positivity, I suggest radical acceptance of the situation for what it is. Accept that the situation may be crappy, you may have messed up, someone may have wronged you; accept it, process your emotions, and move on. That is the only path to peace.
