I think I’m pessimistic about the future. But it comes in the form of catastrophic thinking. I always imagine all the things that can go wrong, so I end up not making plans, because I’m afraid to.
Are you pessimistic or optimistic about the future?
A bit of both for sure
Im not trying to be awkward but im kind of neutral… im not sure what the future holds for me.
I am optimistic because it helps me feel better right now, regardless of what the future really holds 
Very pessimistic about the future
Very pessimistic about it as I see no reason to be different
I’m usually pessimistic but once in a while a ray of optimism shines down on me.
I get a lot of catastrophic thinking too @everhopeful
I’m a very anxious ridden person
Pessimistic, unfortunately. My movement disorders are getting worse and worse. I can hardly use an eating utensil. I have to be super duper careful with knives, when preparing dinner. I have sliced my fingers way too many times. Thankfully, I haven’t sliced a finger off.
I just don’t have good control of my hands. I’m only 30. I’m scared of how bad it will be when I’m 50+.
As for mental health… I hope I will be OK. But I am scared of turning out like my mom. She is Sz and very, very, very ill. She’s been in a full-blown psychotic break for a few months now. We have been trying to get her admitted to the hospital, but it’s not working out, so far… It’s complicated…
I have moments of both. Im currently watching the walking dead and so that makes me feel pessimistic. But its a good show so im going to keep on watching it.
Try not to form ideas about the good or bad of the future. It’s a slippery slope for me. That kind of thinking for me often triggers cascading thought loops. Doesn’t go well for me.
I have a lot of hope for the future
I AM A optapesstmist i think there is a beautiful beginning and a tragic endings. so no i am not intrested in this poll.
“Everyday, it’s a gettin’ closer
Rollin’ faster
Than a rollercoaster.”
We live in hope
Pessimistic… AI is built to cater to rich greedy people…,we are toast
I am optimistic about the future.
I’m afraid the European War will get worse, the weather is crazy and I don’t think we have a solution to it, the political scene in my nation is nuts, and I doubt I’ll ever get out of this group home without going to a nursing home or worse. Yeah I’m pessimistic.
Very pessimistic. It’s never going to get better…
Now I feel very pessimistic. I 've just woken up with a feeling of dispair. I see no way out. And feel sorry for myself.
I am pessimistic about the future most of the times but sometimes I feel I can do it or I push myself to do more than what I do normally which is bit positive. The fact is just because of thinking negatively I do not want to lose opportunities and valuable work.
