Toxic positivity

[Lockdown] The desire to bludgeon a sad person with aphorisms like “Think positive!” and “It’ll be okay!” Even when the instinct to look on the bright side is well-intentioned, it can have the opposite of the desired effect, making people feel bad about their emotions. So please stop flooding the family group chat with “Live, Laugh, Love” memes, Aunt Nancy.
