Toxic Positivity 0
At Psychology Today Blogs, Mark Travers looks at the effects of false–I would use the term “toxic”–positivity. He sees three negatives; follow the link for a discussion of each one.
1. It bottles up real emotions.
2. It leads to unrealistic beliefs.
3. It gives an untrue impression.
Afterthought:
I have nothing against trying to maintain a positive attitude in times of trouble, but, when doing so reaches the point of self-delusion, it becomes destructive to oneself and others.
