Every once in a while I see articles like this and I want to reinforce its message that positive thinking is a load of super stinking shit. Not your basic healthy positive thinking but this movement that imagines that by just thinking positive thoughts and imagining positive outcomes things will automatically manifest. From the link:
"What positive thinking actually does is teach you how to hypnotize
yourself into ignoring your true feelings. It creates a kind of tunnel
vision. You begin to lock your consciousness into a bubble in which you
exist only as your 'higher self,' always smiling, full of love and
happiness, magnetic and unstoppable. Living inside this bubble might
feel good in the short-term, but in time the bubble will burst. That’s
because every time you force yourself to be positive, negativity grows
within. You can deny or repress the negative thoughts and emotions, but
they don’t go away."
