Everyone avoids the dark and negative, but nobody is immune. It's as honest and real as positivity.

Why do we act like it has no place? And isolate those who are experiencing it? It's the other side of the same coin. We are complete beings.

Spot on! It's something I always believe and know. Toxic positivity makes me nauseous. People invalidate you when they don't allow for the 'dark' in us and want to pretend all is light or 'I live in the light.' Pfft. More like delusion.

@Magenta 💯 it is invalidating. I definitely feel pushed out of the way to make room for the positivity parade. It must get tiring eventually, pushing everything undesirable away. Or maybe it doesn't.
