This sort of toxic positivity is not very helpful for anyone with an anxiety disorder. They cant just ignore the things that give them anxiety. And to dismiss them so, well, dismissively can be quite invalidating. Usually what's more helpful is to listen to what is bothering to the person and help them reframe it.
To the OP, do you want to tell us a little more of what is bothering you?
