Depression, Self Harm & Suicide AdviceThose suffering from teen depression, self harm and suicidal thoughts can seek help from our members. You're not alone.
I don't know why but I'm naturally a really pessimistic person. I expect the worst and often think of the worst out comes to situations before pursuing them.This often causes problems with friendships and relationships.
Friendships wise I always think the worse. The second we fall out I think they hate me I'll often not want to leave my house because I doubt the fact that I'll enjoy myself, I often get called the 'plan ruin er' because I always point out the worst outcomes.
Relationships wise I always doubt mine and their happiness, say they could do better, doubt plans we make etc.
I sound like the worst person in the world but I haven't always been like this. I can have a laugh and be sociable but its rare I feel like talking to anyone for fear of the worst. My pessimistic attitude just ruins a lot of things, even small things like saying 'we're not going to win' annoy people and I can tell I give off a horrible down vibe, which I hate. I miss happy Emma I guess.
I guess I'm not really looking for advice here, I'm just stating my thoughts and what not.

Try not to worry about it too much. that's probably just the way you are. There's nothing wrong with it. There are a lot of people out there like that. Of course, it might not be a permanent thing either. It could change as you experience more in life.
I consider myself pessimistically optimistic. Its hard not to be a cynic sometimes. But remember, Murphy's Law: If something can go wrong, it will. Sure, sometimes situations undeniably suck. But its easier to face them if you have a clear mind that pessimism rarely rewards.

I'm kind of like this, and I know what you go through. A lot of the time I find myself naturally being a dick because I expect the worst out of the people I'm being a dick too.

Awh, honey . Don't worry, you're not alone. I'm pretty much a pessimist myself, I can get extremely negative and touchy about things. Maybe, that's the reason I find myself socially awkward at occasions. It's something that I've been working on lately but meh, even when I try to think positive, something comes up and I always end up reasoning out the worst.
I've suffered due to it. I've lost friends, not that they hated me or anything but it was me who thought that they didn't wish to talk to me anymore.I secluded myself, thinking that I'm better off not making a fool of myself by talking to them. How I wish I knew back then what I know now.
But anyway, thanks for sharing and I hope that we'll be our 'happy' selves once again :3
