Pessimism

Screw Pessimism ... It won't work anyway

I'm A bit of both. I'm pssimistic whenever something small goes wrong but always go for the lighter side, seeing humour in really bad situations.

 

It bothers me if I feel like a person is being negative just for the sake of being negative, and especially if they aren't consistent. I have one friend who is extremely cynical, and I get the feeling that it's not so much the cynicism, he just likes telling people that they're wrong. There's something contrived about being consistently negative and then standing out in the cold (we're talking dead of winter connecticut cold) for four hours to protest the evils of scientology.

 

I am optimistic that pessimism does not exist.

Oddly enough dispite what I have had to deal with in my life I am for the most part very optimistic. Well and a hopeless romantic. Which, I would say is the best part of being optimistic. I like to see the good in people no matter how many times they step on me. However, I am not stupid enough to be taken advantage of.......often.

 

i'm an optimist....someone's gotta do it, lol!

really though - we attract what we think/feel/believe - life is simply better when the glass is half full.......and i'm half drunk! hahahahaha

 

Positivity always wins.

I used to be pretty negative about things...until I dabbled with psychedelics.

 

I am naturally a pessimist, but I've been being optimistic for a couple months and it's working much better .

 

im very opitimistc,
but i used to have aproblem when i was around 12 or 13. i would be really guilty if i did something to someone, even if they did something first.
like i remember not long ago some kid getting on my nerves and i was *this* close to punching him in the face but i couldnt and then he would just keep bugging me and acting all tough infornt of me. and finally i punched him in face when he tried to fight me and his nose was bleeding and he was crying and was a bit smaller than me so i felt like the biggest asshole on earth.( even though i had every right to defend myself)

but other than that im a pretty happy camper

 

man this is huge in our circle. If you start bringing everyone else down you get called Debbie Downer. And then everyone laughs and things get less negative.

 

Hello, I'm realistic.

Which is usually perceived as pessimistic by idiots who are optimistic.

 

qft

 

i`m more on the pessimistic side.

 

Realism ftw

 

That's a good point, I tend to point things out as they are, and I just have a hard time believing that any other way than mine is the truth.

Realism sounds nice

 

the thing about realism is the line between realistic expectation and self-fulfilling prophecy is a thin one.

 

Fuck realism. Transcendentalism is where its all at. all of it.

 

THIS. born a hater by nature.

didnt even read the entire thread.

 

Neither.

I am realistic, and hardly ever wrong.

Life has been enjoyably odd lately.

 

I'm a pretty miserable motherfucker.

 

Life...is coming at me strangely...I'm high as balls

 

i float between realist and optimistic...
