You never address the real issue with a friend if there’s any risk of them misinterpreting it and taking it overly personally to the point of ruining your friend dynamic. I would say instead of confronting them about their toxic positivity, start introducing them to more healthy activities. Invite them out to things more frequently. Get them out of their insular environment and interacting with people IRL. I would start with that, see how they come around.

Yeah it’s tough though because I don’t want to accidentally reinforce the toxic positivity personality.
