Pollyanna Principle "refers to an excessively optimistic or naive perspective, often characterized by an unwillingness to acknowledge or address negative realities. It's based on the character Pollyanna Whittier from the 1913 novel, who consistently finds reasons to be cheerful despite difficult circumstances. While optimism is generally considered a positive trait, Pollyanna thinking can be detrimental when it leads to ignoring problems, denying negative emotions, or failing to prepare for potential challenges."[1]
