‘The Difference Between Genuine Optimism and Toxic Positivity’ —- https://thehealthsessions.com/toxic-positivity/

When’s the last time someone told you to “just be positive” after sharing your struggles?

There’s a tricky relationship between positive thinking, health and happiness. Over the past decade, experts have promoted positivity as a simple but highly effective tool to lead a happier and healthier life.

This kind of toxic positivity completely overlooks the severity of some situations. Sure, if someone’s down over a ruined meal or failed work assignment, you can tell them to just cheer up. But when someone is diagnosed with chronic illness or lost a loved one, it’s normal to go through stages of grief – sometimes more than once. Clinical depression and anxiety are medical conditions that cannot be cured by positive thinking and lifestyle changes alone.

In these cases, smilingly telling someone “don’t worry, you’ll get through it” or “think happy thoughts” doesn’t help – it hurts. Toxic positivity strips someone away of the validation they deserve and leaves them feeling ‘guilty’. Guilty for ‘contributing to their problems’, for ‘not being strong enough’ to get better by themselves. Instead of searching for ways to deal with the situation, people may start to doubt themselves, at a time when they need their confidence the most.

Positivity is a good thing, right? “Good vibes only.” “Be happy.” “No drama!” These are helpful things to aim for, right? Well, not quite. Too much of a good thing can actually be pretty harmful.
