The way I translate this message is that if you look at life from the perspective of everything that you lack, you are also coding yourself to be constantly wanting and it's really difficult to solve problems or achieve your goals when you're under duress. It's really easy to forget yourself when we have so many voices (inside and outside) telling us what we want and that what we have is never good enough.

You're talking about toxicity, but then describing any and all negativity as a sign of personal stress. That in and of itself is toxic.

Remember kids: sometimes it's okay to have negative emotions every once and a while. That's how you know you're a functioning human being and not a robot. Insisting otherwise is what we call "toxic positivity."
