We saw this picture circulating around, and we think it& #39;s spreading false information about what toxicity is and guilt-tripping people for normal things. So here& #39;s our take on it:

1. People can& #39;t just press a button and stop having issues with certain things, stop "reacting" to events or stop being insecure. These are humane feelings that people don& #39;t have this kind of control over. It would get toxic if the way they react is abusive, manipulative or they-

start inflicting their issues/struggles on others.

2. It& #39;s okay not to feel good or not to be thankful all the time. In fact, this kind of positivity is what& #39;s toxic as it prevents people from feeling and processing their emotions in order to deal with them healthily.-

Both negative and positive emotions are natural and okay.

3. Lastly, if you have a problem with dealing with certain issues/struggles, communicate that and set boundaries. However, don& #39;t claim this person is toxic to make yourself feel better.
