Everything is ‘toxic’ now, even being happy – are you guilty of this personality trait that was once considered a plus?

Positively? More like positively unbearable.

Living life with a “glass half full” attitude is generally thought of as a plus – but acting too optimistic to the exclusion of other feelings is bad news, experts warn.

People who spend most of their time looking on the bright side can fall into the trap of what’s known as toxic positivity—a saccharine trait defined by Psychology Today as “the act of avoiding, suppressing, or rejecting emotions negative or experiences”, proving that there can be many good things.

For pros, this behavior can also take the form of denying other people’s emotions and “insisting on positive thinking.”

Now, the experts at Individual Differences Research (IDR) labs have created a three-minute “Toxic Personality Test”—to help you see if you’re over-optimistic.

This litmus test is based on the work of Philadelphia psychologist Dr. Jamie Zuckerman, who identified and defined the symptoms of the condition, reported the Daily Mail.

The quiz consists of ten statements, including “I hide or mask my negative feelings,” “I minimize my negative experiences with feel-good statements or quotes,” and “I push difficult issues aside with statements such as ” it is what it is.”

Users are asked to answer each with one of three different answers: “Not me,” “Describes me somewhat,” and “Definitely me.”

The more statements they say “definitely” match their character, the more likely they are to suffer from toxic positivity, according to the site.

The creators of the tests emphasize that this is not an accurate psychological assessment, which according to them should be performed only by a qualified professional and not an online quiz.

And in fairness, the positivity police recognize that giving off really good vibes can only be healthy.

Exuding optimism and gratitude can “help people thrive,” according to experts at Psychology Today, who write that positivity only becomes problematic “when it functions to negate negative emotions.”

For example, responding to someone’s disclosure of distress by telling them to put on a happy face can devalue their feelings.

And on an internal level, trying to suppress negative emotions within yourself can paradoxically magnify them in the long run.

“Negative emotions are hard to deal with, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t feel them,” the test’s creators write. “To fully feel all of our emotions, whether positive or negative, is part of being human and navigating the world.”
