A brief monologue (German) arguing that the phrase “toxic positivity” is misguided: genuine positivity cannot be toxic, and what is labeled "toxic positivity" is actually a lack of empathy and care—performative glossing-over rather than honest support. The speaker contrasts superficial “just be positive” remarks with empathetic engagement that acknowledges a person’s struggles before offering encouragement.
