The act of pushing aside normal emotions and facts that are sad, unhappy or bad.
Showing positive emotions or positivity has become a new form of moral correctness.
Natural emotions and opinions about something that are not positive are now seen as bad.
Ever noticed on FB how many are doing the "10 Days Gratitude" Challenge? And other challenges that pushes themselves to become a better self? I get that and it's great.
See how many likes a post on facebook gets when it is a picture of someone on a holiday, birthday, a pretty cake, etc. That's all great too.
Now, when someone even whispers something that is unpleasant to know, even if it is the truth, most people start running off in different directions, as if someone just threw a grenade on the floor.
Modern norms have indoctrinated us to identify, categorize and label speaking the truth about bad things as negative behaviour. And they have learnt to avoid "negative people". Heard of the term "Don't shoot the messenger?"

As it is taboo to be negative about something even though it is a pragmstic view, one is pressured to fake being positive about it.
The project framwork done by the leader is weak and his subordinates are being false positive about it.

When someone describes a product or action that in reality is completely useless but somehow they can still find something positive to say about it; an instagram influencer describing literally any product.
Instagram model: “I love it when my boyfriend cums on my face! There’s so much protein in semen and it makes your face so soft. Who needs real face masks!”
Follower: “wow I love her instagram positivity!”
