I’ll admit being a person and giving toxic positivity. But after finding out between toxic positivity and validation and hope, it changed my point of view and actually probably help give better encouragement and advice with friends and family just thought it would be nice to share examples of the difference below feel free to say if your opinion in this.
This is very interesting. I can see where some of these comments can come off as toxic. Thanks for posting this. It helps bring perspective to certain comments. I have said something similar to some of the toxic comments I guess. Like just stay positive but the situations were different. I could be wrong but yeah.
I hate, hate, hate the ‘stop being so negative!’ nonsense. Like, ‘oh is the chemical imbalance in my brain messing with your hippy balance??? Sorry I can’t be a wishy-washy positive idiot like you’
But this difference is really cool, I like actual positivity
