Toxic positivity

Toxic positivity involves a limited ability to acknowledge one's own anger or sadness.

Toxic positivity[a] is dysfunctional emotional management without the full acknowledgment of negative emotions, particularly anger and sadness. Socially, it is the act of dismissing another person's negative emotions by suggesting a positive emotion instead.[1]
