Psychological safety is being able to speak your mind without negative repercusions. Toxic positivity is not psychological safety. Personally, I think psychological safety leads to another phenomenon: groupthink. By emphasizing harmony over everything else, groups suffering from groupthink apply self-censorship, silence is seen as agreement, and the ability to make rational decisions is lost. Not only that, but the group develops a strong identity and anyone who doesn't agree is seen as disloyal. For a software engineering team, groupthink usually means becoming a death march towards failure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupthink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupthink
