Is toxic positivity a form of pride? In this episode of Veil & Broc, that’s the real question behind the smiling „blessed” posts and the friend who calls crying on Friday, then texts „I feel so free” by Monday.
Veil and Broc trace forced positivity back to something less comfortable than bad vibes: pride hiding under a cheerful mask, and modesty as the far stranger, far harder antidote. Along the way, Anakin Skywalker makes an unlikely cameo as the oldest case of toxic positivity in the galaxy.
