Someone recently threw me a question about a time when I faced problems.
I realised more often than not, a lot of things are smooth sailing in my everyday life. So at that point, I was completely stunned and did not know how to react. No complaints there, but when I think about why it might be such, I think there are certain values which I follow such as seeing a brighter side of problems. That isn’t exactly wrong and many people strive to abide by this. But it made me wonder if I have started being desensitized to the problems which I am facing. Have I simply cared less about the things that are happening around me? I was told once that toxic positivity exists and it felt like an oxymoron. Is being positive wrong? Am I just thinking too hard to find an example for the question?
I feel what I might just be lacking is the awareness and acknowledgment that things are happening around me.
