discuss Are you a pessimist?

[Dr. A]

People often do not realise what sort of opinions they reflect. Many a times I hear people starting their sentences with a "no" without them realising what kind of impact that has on the opposite person. A negative thought can destroy hope and positivity. Mind needs to be reconditioned to think positively incase, one is becoming a pessimist. Are you a pessimist?

 

[Shawn]

I try not to be.

But I also know when something isn't right. I think it's important for people to be cautious as well. So many scams these days and people wanting to claim things that are not accurate.

 

[Harsh World]

I'm the most optimistic. It works because my wife is the complete opposite.

She keeps me in balance.

 

[King Belieal]

I am one person that would tell you the truth that I feel about a thing and I expect people to understand that it is always just my opinion. And if I tell you negative things about a thing, it is most likely because I am not seeing positive. I am not a pessimist but I don't give people false hope.

I am not a pessimist and don't always want to discourage anyone with negativity. I would always sit down to weigh a situation critically with the person and let him or her take the decision. I can't ever tell anyone, "No, it won't work". That can really demoralize the person.

 

[Maina]

No, I’m not a pessimist, I am not totally optimistic either. I try to approach things with a balanced and realistic mindset. I acknowledge challenges, but always looking for possibilities and solutions.

 

[Kross]

Would I say I am a pessimist? It always depends on the particular situation for me. I am someone that believes that things are possible but I am not the person that believes in miracles. When it looks like it would less likely happen, I always give up. I pursue things that I see that there is some outside chance of getting it.

 

[MamaFrankie]

I'm a realist.

 

[Yama]

I'm a realist.

Yes, too much optimism and too much pessimism both are bad. We need to be realistic to approach things and situations in a better way.

 

[MamaFrankie]

Well said, Yama.

 

[Apsara]

No, I’m not a pessimist. I tend to stay realistic but hopeful. Even when things go wrong, I try to focus on what I can learn or improve. Staying positive helps me move forward instead of getting stuck in negativity.

 

[ActionAce]

I am a realist, not a pessimist. I love to approach every situation with a realistic perspective and that is why I'm not overly optimistic about something. I make sure to focus on understanding and finding practical solutions to things rather than being pessimistic.

Yes, finding a balance is very important. My challenge is when anyone close to me decides o be constantly pessimistic in everything that they do in life.
