the mental capacity to understand it.
“Just look on the bright side”… “It could be worse” is telling people to be positive and paper over whatever negative happened. Doing so can hinder resolution of the issue. It invalidates the feelings of the person.
Promotion of toxic positivity creates an environment where people steer away from difficult conversations.
It demands pursuit of happiness over reality and authentic experience.
Healthy positivity acknowledges the challenges and seeking growth from those challenges.
