This is so true!!! This kind of "positive" attitude never has a solution to anything. We need solutions not slap-happy-smiles.
Facing truth no matter how hard it is to do is the way we can resolve problems. We wouldn't want a doctor to slap us on the back and tell jokes to our face without revealing that we have a disease. We would want the true so we can have the cure.
"I couldn't put my finger on my interactions and observations and now I know what to call it. ---The turning a blind eye to blatant problems. Saying "we don't tolerate any 'negative' comments, just be the light ". This shuts the truth-tellers down. this approach brushes things under the rug. Toxic positivity is the refusal to accept the hard aspects of truth because its uncomfortable. I appreciate this description. Via Kristi Suber"
