"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement"
Honestly, there is no such thing as OVERLY optimistic, but do optimistic people get down sometimes too? Does that actually make you pessemistic?
NO! For those of us who are just so pessemistic that you don't even know what optmistic means..
op·ti·mis·tic
/ˌäptəˈmistik/
adjective
Hopeful and confident about the future.
So now that WE have that out of the way, I bet you're wondering what can possibly be wrong with being hopeful and always seeing the positive side in situations. Well,my answer to that is nothing at all, but is there downsides and upsides to an optimistic mind set? Are WE allowed to get sad? Are WE allowed to have second thoughts and doubts? Are WE allowed to ask for advice? That is where the "debate" comes in! Sometimes as optimistic people WE ARE stuck in a position where WE might go through something and in that moment WE may not be able to find an upside right away and WE want to ask for help but people just expect us to already have the answer, and that can be hard.. even for an optimist, Especially when people think being optimistic is some sort of antidote to problems and normal life hurdles. Most of the time WE dont even get taken seriously.The best advice someone can give us is laughing it off and telling us "you'll figure it out". Just because we are optimistic doesnt mean WE ARE not allowed to have feelings and need to vent sometimes. It's kinda like people look at us funny because they dont understand how someone so happy and positive can have any real problems in life. Well WE do! WE ARE real people at the end of the day with real life situations and WE need real life friends and a support team just like anyone else to help us get through things sometimes and maintain that positive attitude WE have towards life. It's almost like its just us sometimes and no one has real resolutions to our problems besides ourselves which is why it takes a strong indvidual to be an optimist. Because people feel like WE dont really need an ear to listen because WE ARE the voice and WE'VE got all the answers. WE end up bottling a lot in due to the over powering thought of " it's going to get better" . WE have to put our feelings to the side sometimes for ourselves just to be positve and to realize that yea the road is bumpy right now but at least the road is taking us somewhere. With all being said..and all the optimism in me..NO ONE EVER GOT BLINDED BY LOOKING AT THE BRIGHTER SIDE. Whatever it is that WE ARE going through remember that when you think positve thoughts, positivity will come because WE can't solve any problems with the mindset we had to create them! And that my friends is how us optimstic people get through any problems we may come across.. If this whole post confused you..WE'll take it as you're pessemistic, but we still accept you here and WE still wanna hear all thoughts and opinions on how you deal with things in life lol and to answer the question a lot of people want to ask us.."Are you optimstic or in denial"..WE ARE #optimistic
Comment below how you deal with life's obstacles..Do you consider youself #Optimistic, #Pessemistic Or #Realistic?
