Toxic Positivity
It is the idea or the mindset that says that we need to stay positive at all times. It happens because of the overgeneralization that being positive is the only way to get through life.
Being positive all of the time is to deny ourselves to feel and minimize what we are feeling which restricts us from experiencing something normal.
