My brain just doesn’t seem to be firing on all cylinders today - I can’t seem to recall what the term for this is. I want to say it’s a ‘slang’ term, but maybe not? Help me!

    Maybe your looking for “toxic-positivity”?

    It’s the type of mindset where everything must be positive, even if that means discounting or ignoring negative feelings, bad behavior, and bad situations.

    This is a recognized psychological phenomena and can range from normal “keep your chin up” type stuff to full blown “FUD will not be tolerated” cult type stuff

      No, really the best example I can give is the one I’ve already made about the racist neighbor. If there isn’t a term for this sort of behavior, there needs to be one.
