I hate it when people ask me “Why are you so negative?”
It’s easier being a pessimist, In fact I encourage everyone to become a pessimist. Though I’ve never thought it as pessimism, It’s always been realism to me and besides, Optimists get hurt more easily since they expect to much.
Pessimists expect the worst and when It does happen they aren’t as cut, When it doesn’t happen they’re pleasantly surprised.
