The trauma is so enormous to handle
I was told so many times to always stay positive. My thoughts should be filled with positivity. Stay around positive minded people. Get on with life, a better one. Never forget that it will be okay one day.
There are days I will be so sad but friends will ask me to look smart and put up a bright face.
I hated myself so much, but friends told me that whatsoever happened, was far a reason. So I was encouraged to move on with life. I was never given the opportunity to cry. Every day as I wake up, I was told to be Ok.
One difficult challenge I had was that I never chosed to be ok. Everything seemed oppressive.
I would have chosed to be okay, but a great part of me never wanted it. I had no idea of who I was becoming, everything was just completely new to me. Giving a listening ear to what my friends had to say all this while took me to a point where I began asking myself questions. So I really wanted to put up a happy face, wear the prettiest smile, and look positive. Yes I really tried all of these, but I knew wouldn't be able to do them. The more I force myself to feel the way I never wanted, the more I hurt gradually inside.
The disturbing experience I had was so enormous that I couldn't handle it. To make it even worst, I was a victim of positive toxicity, and it wasn't so good for me at this point in my life.
We live by what the society or our friends tells us. We are being told to "hang in there" and to show that we have all what it takes to get back our happiness, wealth, and health, because such is life. People don't just have anything to say to, so they come up with sympathetic vibes like, It so fine if you didn't get that dream job....it is extremely okay if you didn't get the promotion at work.....it is extremely okay if you lost a loved one.....it is extremely okay if you were served breakfast (heartbreak).
Positive toxicity is a obsession that despite the difficult happenings around a person, such a person should keep of remain positive. Always a positive vibe or response approach of life. When we allow positive toxicity to take over us, we will never acknowledge or manage our difficult emotions but rather deny them. We should allow ourselves to fully feel those difficult emotions. Sometimes these feelings are not harmful to us, they are there to help us have experience of what it means to feel that way and have the knowledge of how to improve for a better change.
It should come to our knowledge that it is also important to know that there are times in our lives that we really need to put on an appearance that everything is just okay and as well move on with life and never forget to put in our efforts to do the best we can.

It's okay not to be okay. A lot of people mask their pains which has caused a lot of problems. It's like telling a grieving person not to cry and be strong. We are doing more harm than good. It's okay not to feel up to it. It's okay to feel.
