KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Toxic positivity is using positivity as a way to mask or avoid negative emotions and situations.
- Positivity can be used in a toxic way when it prevents us from addressing core issues and emotions.
- Spiritual bypassing is another form of toxic positivity, where people use spiritual practices to avoid dealing with difficult emotions and situations.
- Chasing positivity and external material things will not fill the void inside; true growth and fulfilment come from doing the inner work.
BEST MOMENTS
"You could be using positivity in a toxic way to mask what is really going on."
