Toxic positivity is when being positive becomes prioritized over anything and everything else. Other emotions are put aside and put a lid on for the sake of positivity. By creating the illusion that everything is fine, toxic positivity promotes overlooking real issues, big or small, and fails to allow people to empathize with others and understand one's own feelings.
