Have You Ever Heard Of Toxic Positivity?

Published Jan 17, 2022

Hello fellow bloggers! I am writing after quite a long time. And this time I want to write about toxic positivity. Excess of anything is toxic. Same goes with positivity or positive thinking. You may have heard a lot of people telling you to be positive in every situation, but you cannot be positive evertime. Human brain feels every kind of emotion so for it being positive everytime is not possible. Also the situations we are surrounded with in every day life make us feel every emotion. 

 I felt the need to write on this topic because few days ago while scrolling Instagram I came across a fashion influencer's photo where in people had commented whatever they felt. Some called her hot, some called her sexy, some commented on her body as how she is so curvy but one comment that grabbed my attention was of a girl who said that caption doesn't suit the photo. And to this the fashion influencer replied saying it's her choice and she did not ask for anybody's opinion. Few others also joined on commenting how people are negative and they like to comment on everybody. But that fashion influencer posted that comment on her story saying that how people are so negative and she prays to God to heal such souls.  But I wonder what was wrong with that comment?That girl had just put forth her opinion like everyone else and nothing was wrong in it. But the influencer was so much obsessed with hearing good things only that just an opinion sounded negative to her. She replied that if people doesn't have any good thing to say then they shouldn't say anything at all. 

But some other people also joined and one said that other people will not see you the way you see yourself. There will be people who will give out the opinion and just because one person doesn't agree with what you feel doesn't mean the person is negative. What about the other people that were commenting on her body parts? She did not say any single word to them. Why? because we are so obsessed with hearing good things only that we forget the line between what's decent and what's not. We think everything is ok until and unless we are appreciated. 

A person getting into an accident is told to be positive that atleast he/she is alive. If life would have been this easy. If being positive was only the key then there wouldn't be any punishments. Because everybody could have explained that what they did was not to an another level and people should be positive about it. Being positive is a good thing but excess of it is really toxic. There are limitations to every thing. That's what I feel. Tell me what do you feel about it in comments.

this idea and explanation was on point over how we always want to hear something like we see ourselves as in our eyes... but every mind think different and every other eyes sees different .
