Whenever I come across someone who talks about how positive they are, or who is on a crusade to teach other people to be more grateful, it worries me.

I never really felt Positivity meant you needed to be happy all of the time.

It was more you ought to remain positive about your ability to handle all of the obstacles that life throws at you.

Make up your own minds by reading this article -

The Positivity Hoax: How the Science of Happiness Got it Wrong (Pt 1) - Lisa Esile

Now, I am off to explore the rest of her site

Enjoy your day!

I applaud the sentiment that mindless positivity is annoying and stupid. However this link is in baby language and I don't have the patience for that.
