I think optimism is for the stupid and pathetic. I despise positive people with every single fibre of my being. I hate them because they cling on to optimism like its some sort of religion. And when all hope is lost they keep saying "look at the bright side" and it fucking irritates the shit out of me. I want to punch optimistic people in the face and be like "Shut the fuck up there is no bright side accept!" IIN?

PS Don't get me wrong I know being overly negative can be bad too and a little optimism is okay. I am referring to people who are sooo positive and optimistic to the point of being really unrealistic and refusing to accept when a terrible situation is really BAD and there is no positive side.

    I'm not especially optimistic at times but just because someone is different doesn't mean they are either stupid, pathetic, a bitch, or gay.

    I think what you are looking to say is that you hate "unrealistic people". I'm a very optimistic person, but I'm aware of the fact that trouble may come in my life (as it comes in everyone's life) but that's no reason to look for it. I try to make every aspect of my life the best that it can be, and when something brings me down, I tell myself that it will soon be over. I don't see why anyone would be sad all the time. At the same time, I'm also realistic about a situation and when I know a situation is bad I don't try to hide it. However, I try to make the best out of it. I learned in psychology that optimistic people have longer lives. I don't know why this is, but I do believe it. There's nothing wrong with being optimistic, you just have to be realistic about a situation.

    Don't be mad because people are happy and you're not.

    If you punched an optimistic person in the face, they'd just say "Hey, at least I didn't get kicked in the nuts!! Coulda been worse!!"

    I agree though, it annoys me too. Those assholes call me "negative"....I'm not negative, I'm realistic. I just figure to plan for the worst and then I'm prepared. If it goes smoothly, then I can be happy AFTERWARDS (when it counts!!), and if it doesn't, I'm prepared for it and can deal with it better. The optimists tend to not plan for anything going wrong and end up shit outta luck and in for a ton of more stress than just being realistic and practical and thinking beforehand. How they can keep getting shit on and not changing the attitude is beyond me. Don't they realize how the world works??

    It kinda bothers me to. Don't get me wrong, it's great to be little hopeful but at the same time be realistic and prepare yourself for the worst.

    I just despise some people's upbeat, joyful demeanor...they need to know that the world isn't pleased to see you...you aren't needed, or included, or loved. You're ugly, and superfluous and ignorant, and you should be frightened, and meek, and grateful. And that the whole world thinks you are a turd.

      Sounds kinda like a personal problem there. XD

      Other people are mirrors. The sooner you learn that the sooner you can truly learn yourself.

    I can't follow this, it's too unclear. Can you be more specific on what level of optimism a person must surpass to hit the annoying level? Give an example

    I mean, I'm sick of Joel Osteen saying that everything is beautiful but I have the lyrics to "Life's a Happy Song" memorized.
