why "thinking positive" is BS...
Ever feel like no matter how much you try to “stay positive,” nothing really changes?
Like you’re repeating affirmations,
Forcing gratitude,
And telling yourself everything’s fine when deep down, it’s not?
That’s because positive thinking doesn’t work when you’re using it to ESCAPE reality.
If you feel insecure, afraid of judgment, or stuck in self-doubt, forcing positivity won’t fix it.
In fact, it does the opposite—it pushes those feelings deeper.
And whatever you resist… persists.
It’s like stuffing a messy room into a closet before guests arrive.
At first, it looks clean. But the mess hasn’t disappeared—it’s just hidden.
And the more you shove inside, the harder it becomes to close the door. Eventually, it bursts open, spilling everything out at once.
That’s exactly what happens when you suppress your real emotions.
You pretend they’re not there, but they show up anyway—through overthinking, hesitation, anxiety, or even feeling drained after every social interaction.
So what should you do instead?
Stop trying to be “more positive” and start being more honest.
1) Acknowledge what you’re feeling instead of covering it up.
If you’re feeling insecure, admit it.
If you’re afraid, sit with that fear.
There’s no weakness in it. The only weakness is pretending it’s not there.
2) Ask yourself where it’s coming from.
What are you actually afraid of? What story are you telling yourself about why you’re not good enough?
Get to the root of it.
3) Let yourself feel it WITHOUT judgment.
Most people avoid emotions because they think feeling them means something is wrong with them.
It doesn’t.
Emotions are temporary.
When you stop resisting, they lose their grip on you.
Real confidence isn’t built by forcing positivity.
It’s built by knowing that no emotion—no fear, no doubt, no insecurity—has power over you unless you let it.
You don’t need to fake positivity.
You just need to stop running.
