Toxic Positivity Fatigue
I’m honestly tired of every self-help tip being like “just think positive!” Like okay, but what about when you feel burnt out and disconnected and none of that works? I’d love something that’s more real and less sugar-coated. Any recs that actually meet you where you are?

Ugh yes, I feel this so much. I got really burned out on the whole “good vibes only” culture — it started to feel fake and even a little invalidating. I wanted something that could help me feel better without pretending everything’s perfect. That’s when I found this article about a more down-to-earth approach — here’s the liven app review if you’re curious. What I liked is that it focuses on meeting you where you actually are, not forcing motivation down your throat. It’s science-backed and gentle, more about emotional awareness and clarity than pushing you to be “better” all the time. Using it felt more like talking to a coach who gets it, not an Instagram quote machine. Definitely gave me more peace than any self-help book I’ve read lately.
