We’ve been inundated with messages to “think good thoughts,” bring “good vibes only,” and to “look on the bright side.” When we are struggling, these messages can be damaging because they amplify the idea that a failure of positive thinking is what is causing us to struggle. Toxic positivity also ignores the reality that there can be external forces that impact our circumstances, regardless of outlook. Basically, by engaging in toxic positivity, you are also gaslighting yourself… Not only are you struggling, but you’re also telling yourself that it’s your fault for not being positive.
