Toxic positivity is one of those things in relationships where it can feel like we are doing the right thing. We are trying to stay positive, focus on the good, and on the power of gratitude and appreciation. We think that this is how we’ll create the relationships we want, by staying positive and focusing on the good, but when we take this TOO far - that’s when it becomes toxic. That’s when it turns from healthy positivity into toxic positivity.

Toxic positivity happens when there is SUCH a focus on being positive that it doesn’t allow for and even dismisses anything negative.
