TOXIC POSITIVITY AND EMOTIONAL GUARDING THAT IS SHAPED BY THE DENIED WARMTH OF A PARENT
You show how jolly and smiley you are,
It helps you forget your problems.
But does it lessen the baggage you carry alone?
Does it help? Maybe or Maybe not.
There’s nothing wrong with that,
However, something is broken within you.
A little child who yearns a lot with a warmth of a parent,
Often grows with people-pleasing behaviors and such.
That inner child in you longs for that, and
As a result, you end up trying to earn that warmth.
Warmth from the people with your parents’ age as well.
To the people you get reminded of with them.
Is there something wrong with that?
If you’re looking at it from my perspective, I think there is.
Because no child should ever feel that way.
That kind of affection is meant for a child.
