Social Media Madness 13: Toxic Positivity during the Pandemic Social Media Madness Series

    • Society & Culture

As we are living through a sanitary crisis in 2020, a lot of people felt that anxiety and let me tell you:  I definitely felt it through my screen. From toxic positivity through real positivity. It’s really hard to follow. Who’s right who’s wrong? What’s positivity versus toxic positivity. Why are sensing it on social media? Well, don’t forget that social media is a platform made for people to connect and nowadays people express themselves through this platform. And sometimes, some accounts have more influence than others and they make people feel worse about themselves instead of making them feel better. We define toxic positivity as the excessive and ineffective overgeneralization of a happy, optimistic state across all situations. During this episode we learn to dissociate toxic positivity to real positivity and HOW to use social media to gain real value and real happiness. Stay with us to listen to the whole jab.
