Why Optimism Makes Us Sad | Are We Better Off Being Pessimists?

[@stephaniedonst5309]

I think its not about being a pessimist or optimist, but rather about being a realist. Not being overdramatic and looking at life without a filter. Personally growing up I was a pessimist and once I started to lighten up I reduced a lot of unnecessary stress.

@Anhedon There's no power in negativity. You should be positive and optimistic no matter what and never ever fall into a victim mentality. You create your own hell or heaven on earth. It's all in your mind. Never let external events bring you down, they are not in your control either way. Focus only on what YOU can control and create a better life for yourself. In the end, positivity wins.

I used to be an optimist. I was such an optimist that a friend once told me he's jealous of my optimism. How can you be so positive?! But as I grow older I'm teaching myself to be a realist instead. I feel like being an optimist and pessimist is tiring. You're holding on to an empty hope and imaginary stress. I read a lot on Buddhism and Stoicism in the last few years and it really taught me on how to be a realist. And in my opinion, being a realist is so liberating haha.

I personally think when it's fake optimism then you often lie to yourself to make others happy. But when the optimism is sincere nothing wrong with that.

[@spicytomango]

An old friend once told me, "In everything you do, there are only two outcomes. It'll either work or it won't, make peace with both". I was stuck in a rut for long time and most people around me told to always speak positive. But after sometime I couldn't stand it anymore, especially while things kept getting worse. It felt almost toxic. Learning to expect nothing is difficult and frustrating but when you do, it's like a whole different breath of air

[@vincentg80882]

No need to worry about optimism or pessimism, only to do the best that we can with the situation that we're in. Optimism can help you to keep going in a rough situation, pessimism can help you prepare for a foreseen danger. You should be either or at the correct time.

My personal mantra is that if all good things must come to an end, you should treat every moment as a good one because until the end of that particular moment, you may not know if it was a good moment or not. Goes back to when people say it may be bad in the moment, but a few years from now you'll be laughing at yourself. You don't always need to look on the bright side, but instead just enjoy what can be enjoyed about that moment.

[@salmonteleone3520]

Remain neutral and you can accept good and bad things as they come. Assuming or embracing pessimism or optimism can create an expectation of the future that can distract us from the present.

[@evelynjean-louis990]

I think gratitude is a precursor to optimism. Gratitude is grounded in the present moment. It directs our attention to what positives we can extract from this moment. This attitude begins to erode anxiety and pessimism because, through our own experiences, we learn that even in the darkest moment, we can find a reason to be grateful.

[@kookietrash2186]

"Prepare for the worst, hope for the best" - I guess this is a compromise of stoicism to stay optimistic (and not falling into strong pessimism and paranoia) without being overwhelmed by adversity

To me an optimist doesn't believe that this is the Best of All Possible Worlds because that's unknowable. An optimist just believes and lives life with an attitude that Hope for a better future is possible.

"A degree of reasonable pessimism" is a good way to put it. Being too optimistic can lead to having a distorted view of reality, while being too pessimistic & always preparing for the worst can lead to catastrophizing which could cause perpetual anxiety. Then there is the elephant in the room: how to control our irrational impulses with reason (which is probably a lifelong learning experience)? It seems that moderation, acceptance of unpredictability, good self-control & a rational mindset are crucial when it comes to dealing with life in general - the theory, at least, seems easy. From personal experience, practice can be the complete opposite 😅

I do believe the stoic principle 'Negative Visualization' where we do view what could go wrong in the future sets you up for success for one, you're better prepared to endure hardships in the future and secondly you're more grateful for when future events don't take a turn for the worse. Relying on the future for your happiness is dangerous and won't lead to sustainable happiness which comes from living in the present.

[@lukelim5094]

Yes but i seen people that is so dumb with negative visualization as well. Like they are so wreck with anxiety and fear and feel so proud they can see the future ten steps ahead but alot of time they manifest their own tragedy. So doing that is like using a blade without a handle. It will fucking cut you. To properly use negative visualization, one need this layer of thinking that even if bad things happen they can deal with it in the most calm and gracious manner possible. To let go of outcome and adjust the sails of the boat. Some uses negative visualization and drive head first into disaster. Because i assure you many people have use negative visulization terribly and harm those around us. Without that layer of letting go and accepting that fear. too many people become horrendous self serving individual. To be stoic that is the handle to use this tool well and effectively.

[@PrymCabral]

I think the best takeaway here is don’t expect anything. If you expect nothing, the world surprises you. Also relates to the paradox of accepting negative experience is a positive experience

[@BebeSoule]

One of my favorite quotes is from Lao Tsu, "Hope or fear, what's the difference?" I feel like this sums up this video. His fears turned into a vigorous (false hope) in order for him to escape the mental stress of being kept in prison." Seems like all hope stem from fear and thus hoping is just you feeding the fear that's dormant in your subconscious. It's better not to hope and thus you will cut source of energy from your fears. And you will eventually face reality as it is. I heard it's better to have faith than hope. But sometimes I can't really tell the difference between faith and hope.

[@amygdalae]

That's a great line. I used to think hope and fear were near opposites before reading Lao Tzu. "Hope is as hollow as fear," says my translation.

[@BebeSoule]

​@@amygdalae That's the correct version actually haha. I think this one was, "success or failure, what's the difference."

[@RMLLcrazy]

I feel like faith is a powerful but dying emotion. It's utterly illogical belief. The only distinction between faith and a dellusion is that the faithful do not believe they have a reason or an argument for why they're right, they chose to believe something and believe it because they want to believe it. That is faith. It's a stubborn way of being that requires devotion and immense discipline.

If Stoic philosophy has taught me anything, it's to neither be optimistic or pessimistic. But rather to accept a middle ground & embrace my fate, whatever it may be. In other words...amor fati. “Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.” - Marcus Aurelius “True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing..." - Seneca

Either way what's done is done. - Have no time or energy to waste on pretending everything will work out and always be just so peachy, as a lifetime of the opposite is simply to much data to ignore.

If I'm going through a time of personal tranquility, then I have nothing important to learn in that moment. If I'm going through a time of anguish and hell, then there is something I need to learn or change in my life to improve it. This mindset does not work for everyone, but for me, it has reduced my anxiety to almost nothing. It's hard to be nervous when you believe what happens is the best thing to happen.

@ 0:24 From here you start presenting ONLY two choices, indicative of using the inadequate 2 valued, either/or logic of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle STILL used in the English language! I gave up on this long ago & use the superior MULTI valued, holistic Non Newtonian logic. - With regards to optimism v pessimism ( again limited to 2 values ! ) Life is situational & whether you are an optimist or a pessimist, the chances are sooner or later you'll end up in a situation which is @ the opposite end of the continuum to which you are oriented, & in result it'll take that much longer to adapt to a new situation. As that may be FAR too slow, it seems to me FAR better to adopt a position in the middle of the continuum e.g. REALISM, thus allowing you to make an appropriate reaction both faster & more easily - Works for me ! 😀

You can say optimism is irrational, but you could say the same about pessimism, any extreme stance is irrational. I consider myself a realist, coming from a place of accepting reality as it is, yet idealistic in the sense that I see the possibilities and choices I have within that reality, my own power in shaping it. Having accepted reality, understanding it full and well, I am not naive or irrationally optimistic. Yet from there I choose to focus on positive possibility. I've already accepted the bad, but how is it rational for me to focus on that, what good will it do me? Once I've seen the bad, dwelling further on it will change nothing, give no constructive outcome. It already is as it is. From there I focus on that being that, what can I do to (continually) create positive despite the negative, if you will, outset. I don't necessarily see the dark aspects of life as purely bad either, it's just part of a whole. Day means nothing without night. Even the bad can be used for good if you are willing to see what can be taken from it, like what you could learn from a bad experience or a dark time in life. Or you could just see it as bad, and gain nothing but pain. I take the learning from it, and don't dwell on the negative effects, this way even the bad won't hurt me too much, on the contrary it might lead me to something positive. With psychological self-awareness and understanding you come to know you do not have to choose extreme stances to approach life, as if you do not have any agency in it.
