Being positive isn't how this world changes, and it's a bit absurd to force people to engage in toxic positivity in a world where everything is going to shit faster and faster by the day.
It's one thing to try to maintain an air of optimism about things, especially if that's more in line with your personality. It's another thing to force everyone else into your desire for positivity-over-everything.
Not all of us are positive people. I certainly have never been. I have to quasi-catastrophise and think of the worst-case scenario in order to get through things. I find it easier to believe the worst possible things will happen so that I can be surprised when things go way better than expected.
Because when I've thought of the best-case scenarios only to be met with everything going to shit? That has ruined me. That put me out of commission and made it harder for me to keep going.
But I can keep going when I prepare for the worst and have the relief of not engaging with it.
So telling me to “be positive?” You can fuck off.
