pessimism
Well, I hate to say it, but I'm pretty darn pessimistic. And I will also start off by saying, if you're going to try and start some sort of arguement or debate with me after reading this, then just stop right now. I won't respond to you, I'll just delete your comment. If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't bother.
I've lived a portion of my life believing that the worst will happen out of a given situation. For example, a birthday party. I ALWAYS think: "This will suck, no one will talk to me, I don't know what to say to the birthday person, I probably will get talked about" and so on. The last birthday party I was being talked about. I mean, sorry, that's immature to start shit at a party. It's supposed to be fun. Anywho, I always expect lots of little things in my life to turn out bad or shitty.
I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure pessimism has to deal with how you're raised, and treated, in general.
My point, you're wondering? Well, I really don't like it. I think it eggs on my paranoia(sp) and whatnot. Which also leads to my anxiety. I don't like any of it.
So, is there a way to become less pessimistic? A good way, a simple way? I have tried. And sometimes, I found not even thinking about the given situation beforehand, because that works sometimes. But not always. Usually I just judge it right away.
Any suggestions?

I agree with Rage. It all depends on the way you look at things. With good comes bad and with bad comes good. I know how hard it can be to look on the good side of things, but yea, there always is one. Stay positive and ignore the negative thoughts. Hopefully this'll get you started. Good luck. <3

when you have something to deal with, look at it on a good point of view. :] there's always something good about a situation, you just have to look at it in a certain point of view :]
