The Problem With Staying Positive All The Time
Too much of anything is never a good idea, even all those preaching positivity.
If I hear one more person tell me I need to stay positive I’m going to lose my shit.
You can have a positive mindset, AND live in reality. The people who are always pushing this positivity bullshit on people are the ones who have trouble dealing with feelings in my opinion. It gives them such anxiety when someone expresses a feeling they panic, because it makes them uncomfortable. Most learn to escape feelings, not confront and feel them head on.
Everything has to be “OK” all the fucking time, but life doesn’t work like that. There is a time when your wheels will eventually fall off, and the whole positive vibe mantra explodes in your face, and you will be smacked with reality.
Often times negativity can have a positive effect
Some situations call for grief, despair and fear. It’s what can initiate change. If you are always looking at the positive side of your fuck ups, not only that, but people coddling your fuck ups with you, what reasoning or drive do you have for change? Just keep fucking up, but be positive “they” say!
