Pessimism

I am super pessimistic, but not in a downer, I hate life, kind of way.

I've always been pessimistic, saying shit about whatever, but lately people have really started pissing me off, constantly saying I'm too negative. I think that shit's too negative...don't be negative about my negativity, it's just who I am and it doesn't hurt anybody.

Are you optimistic or pessimistic?

 

im pretty optimistic...just roll with the punches and enjoy life kinda guy.

 

I've been called an Eeyore on several occasions.

 

I try to be optimistic as much as I can..
Just makes everyone more happier, I think

 

Maybe I'm in a funk...

I am in a weird situation, cause I feel optimistic towards life in general, but like on shit that doesn't matter, I'll say what's wrong with it.

I'm not pessimistic, I'm highly critical.

 

I agree man :cheers2:

I like life and shits fun but i cant stand peoples company sometimes and often i act a little more harshly then i intend to

I always think of flaws in people and why they annoy me... Its strange sometimes because people think im angry or pissed or something but im really not.. Also it seems like my actions dont really matter so its kinda weird, i dont give a fuck anymore

 

^Pretty much exactly how I feel right now.

Some people, particularly the people that tell me I'm too negative, piss me off. Maybe because when they say stuff which is inherently negative, I tend to fixate on that comment and realize all the positive reinforcement to their argument.

In psychology it's called the spotlight effect, and it really pisses me off to no end. I'm gonna go hang with new friends today.

 

Im pretty happy go lucky.

 

I'm pretty optimistic I suppose.

 

This is what I have been trying to do. I need to get away from my best friend for awhile. She makes me think negatively.

 

Does she then turn around and tell you to stop being a Debbie Downer? lol

 

Hahah.. No, she's always the one that is sooo negative about everything. That's why I have to think negatively

 

yeah...true. I'm trying to see it from my friends' angle too. Like, am I really being ultra downer? I dunno, but I just find driving around the city with nothing to do to be pretty boring and lame. Whenever I suggest we go somewhere, it's always "No, that sounds retarded" or "I think those days are over" or just blatant name-calling.

I'm tired of it. Me and my negativity are too good for that junk

 

Ya, you definitely have to see it from your friends point of view. If you think you're being negative, then just wonder if your friends think you're being negative, too! Find some new friends that like to do stuff, maybe you'll be less negative.

 

I don't like negativity. That's how one of me and my friends stopped being friends. He was just a little negative bitch all the time.

 

Well, I was pessimistic about the new Prowler roller coaster at Worlds of Fun, but I turned out wrong

 

Ahhh.. I'm very pessimistic when it comes to roller coasters haha
I'm so scared of them.

 

Maybe I'm more negative when I don't smoke? Cause I felt pretty jolly tonight after a bowl with a different friend and some exploration of forest.

 

I'm an optimistic cynic.

 

^There we go

Really though, I think pointing out somebody's negativity is pretty lame. Because it causes a fixation of that behavior. Oh well...maybe I really am super negative without my ganja
