Are you able to identify the difference between a positive person and someone who uses toxic positivity?  Most people who make positive comments have good intentions.  However, when there is toxic positivity, whether or not on purpose, or a lack of knowing what to say, it has an impact on you.

Using toxic positivity can be a form of gaslighting.  Sometimes these toxic positive comments can actually cause you to feel bad about the feelings you are having. Toxic positivity can invalidate your emotions.  You need to feel your emotions in order to grow, challenge, and process your feelings.  It is important to be able to identify who is toxically positive in your life so that when you need to have that emotional conversation you are able find other people to have it with.
