True. Our entire reality is a product of our thoughts. Change your thoughts —> change your life.

Oh FFS! This again? Here’s an actual thought: Try ‘positive thinking’ your way out of poverty, or depression, or illness (your own ir a loved one’s). This type of horseshit way of thinking is unrealistic, and is the epitome of privileged thought. ‘Positivity’ is a choice when you can afford it.
Stop already. It’s embarrassing.

We make ourselves miserable, or full of joy… The energy is the same!

Why are you choosing to be negative?

This is more “happiness is a choice” dumb shit just worded differently, for people who are depressed there isn’t just a “choice” to be happy or positive about things

Lol nobody is saying you can “positive thinking” your way out of poverty. It’s about choosing to see the positives in life… it sounds like you like to find the negatives

Nope. Absolutely false. 100% projection. If you are not satisfied with your life, that is completely on you.

Toxic positivity is a real issue. Acknowledging a situation is bad is just staying grounded in reality, and not huffing delusions to feel better.

You don't have to feel or see good everytime. Life is not just about good things only. Realise it.
It's okay not to be good everytime. You don't have to force yourself for anything..just go through it. It's also life.

i am poor and jobless and yesterday i let two people with only 2 or 3 items go first in the checkoutline. 3 friendly and happy people at this moment.

Again.. nobody is saying you can’t be grounded in reality and also choose to have a positive mindset. I imagine “toxic positivity” is a real problem for the chronically negative
