In this episode of Ask Amy Wine, Amy tackles the topic of toxic positivity. She explains what exactly toxic positivity is, how it differs from genuine positivity, and why it’s important to empathize with others rather than simply offering platitudes. Amy provides practical advice on how to respond empathetically when someone shares their struggles, emphasizing the significance of listening and understanding without immediately jumping to positivity.

Topics Discussed

  • Definition and understanding of toxic positivity
  • Differences between genuine positivity and toxic positivity
  • The importance of empathy in conversations
  • Practical tips for empathetic responses
  • Strategies for addressing and managing difficult emotions

Key Takeaways

  • Toxic positivity is a newly coined cultural term. It’s when people feel you’re not hearing them.
  • The problem isn’t in saying positive things; it’s that the person doesn’t feel you have responded with empathetic understanding.
  • You never have to agree to hear someone. Hearing and agreeing are two different things.
  • When you help someone focus inward on what they can control, it becomes different.
