Narcissistic Abuse.
When Narcissists Use Toxic Positivity.
The spiritual and toxic positivity narcissist.
Way back in the days before we learned about toxic positivity, people would push staying positive and good vibes and a lot of gaga that pretty much damaged an entire generation.
Finally, the human race is gaining traction as we recognize and accept emotions that are meant to be felt and are there to guide us to make better decisions.
Narcissists, on the other hand, still use this the old positivity spin to gaslight. Here are some examples of what you might hear from a narcissist:
“I’m trying to raise your vibration” — this one I got recently after kicking the narcissist out when he decided to drop one of his deceptions. If my vibrations were low I’d be accepting the lies, the projections, the gaslighting and all the other b.s.
“Be positive” — you rarely ever hear an actual positive person say ‘be positive’. Positive people struggle to see, hear, or even comprehend negativity so telling someone to be positive or to be anything for that matter, isn’t in their vocabulary.
“I need to be around positive people” — this is a not-so-subtle way of saying ‘you are negative’ which is clearly a negative thing to say.
