I’ve felt that way before and sometimes still do. I’ve learned that it’s actually a self-defense mechanism. For me it was because I learned early on that positivity is dangerous, that negativity was safer in my family and upbringing so I stopped being joyful to protect myself from potential pain that I would get from being positive or optimistic. I don’t know if that resonates with you, but I can tell you it can come back.
