i think i have toxic positivity
I have ecstatic negativity.
When I was working, I learned to reflexively smile.
I also got a lot of tips that I couldn’t keep.
Dude people just seeing someone enjoying their life and they’re like bro lemme give you money 
I love those folks they were so good hearted.

Ok, Now i know a new word…
I really try to keep positive and reframe setbacks in a positive way. It has been helpful overall. The positivity does need to be grounded in realism. Some things are impossible no matter how positive you are. It’s also okay to acknowledge if things are tough right now, just don’t see now as being forever. Tomorrow is a new opportunity.
The key word is “too”. Being positive is OK in many situations.
I hated working in retail. I was never smiling enough and customers found me rude cos I wasn’t usually bubbly.
I’m a naturally positive person and I don’t find that in anyway toxic. I do tend to give people the benefit of the doubt though and see the positives in them which often backfires but I’m a glass half full kinda person. It helps for sure. I like living.
