Toxic positivity is a real thing. Negative emotions are a real thing. There are people out there that use positivity as a means of denial. “My life is great and there is nothing I need to change or work towards.” Versus “This sucks, but now that I acknowledge it, I can change it.”
There are also those that use positivity as a means to make oneself emotionally unavailable. If you’re 100% averse to any negativity and never want to sit in it with a friend, I think that’s a problem.
