In this episode, Nick and Evan talk about how showing support could become toxic. Toxic positivity can be defined as the excessive and ineffective overgeneralization of a happy, optimistic state across all situations, which consequently results in the denial, minimization, and invalidation of the authentic human emotional experience.
