There are different types of positivity. Toxic positivity encourages people to be overly grateful for what they have while ignoring the difficulties and downsides of those things. This is a way to keep from feeling the full emotional effect of gratitude by hiding feelings of unhappiness. Toxic positivity may also encourage people to fake their gratitude and cover up their true feelings.
