Sorry but if you say you're "being realistic" or "seeing the world as it is" and then only spout of the negatives then you're not being realistic and your worldview will devour you whole. Pessimism is not realistic. There is no world void of joy and to believe that is to ignore the goodness in the world and only see things in an unrealistic, cynical perspective that is not and never will be how things are. Find some joy in the smallest of things or perish.

#Pessimism is not realism and optimism is not naiveté #Optimism is seeing the world for it's positives in spite of its negatives and striving to make more of it than just giving up #What is realistic about putting your hands up and saying the world sucks all the time??? #What is realistic about ignoring all the joy that got you here???? #Where's your wonder. Where's your sense of fucking whimsy. #Be astonished by the beauty of the world or fall to it

If you were a teen in the 2010s and have internalized that it’s somehow cool to be mentally ill / speak only in sarcasm / joke about suicide / say self-deprecating stuff all the time / treat your life as a joke / make being a nihilist your whole personality: maybe try to unlearn that

#I understand that it's a copying mechanism too and maybe it can work for some people #but in general I really don't think you can heal like that #and please remember that it hurts the people around you #you're creating a culture where being an asshole and hopless are normalized and trying to see the good in life is cringe #2010s internet #pessimism #nihilism #positivity posting #PEACE and LOVE on planet earth even only for a moment #tw suicide

your post about the labels introvert and extrovert hit really close to home for me, cuz lately i've been thinking a lot about that exact thing and how it probably played a huge part in stunting my ability to socialize for a few years. was always saying stuff like "i don't like people" or that i was scared of people, and considered myself to be just an introvert that had bad anxiety(found out about my autism much later). thought i could never learn to be good at or to enjoy interacting with others. and that therefore i shouldn't put effort into trying, plus being "introverted" was normal so why try to change it right. but yeah pretty much just like you said, after some therapy, learning coping skills and forcing myself outside my comfort zones- i realized i like talking to people!! i like connecting with others and having experiences and not living in my room afraid of the outside world. so.. yeah! sorry for the long ask i guess all that was just to say you are so so right, you put it into words very nicely and i appreciated it so thank you aaaa

of course! im glad i was able to put how you feel into words and im glad youre doing better now. but yeah finding someone else with a similar experience to mine just makes me think im more right on being wary of the effects of introvert as a label.

i think a lot of people who have anxiety, depression, autism etc may end up latching to introvert because its the closest of an explanation they can find for their struggles, and the closest to a socially acceptable one. no one takes "i dont like going to parties because the music is too loud" seriously, but "i dont like parties because im an introvert" might be let slide. what is sad i think is when youre never given an alternative explanation and never given any kind of support with your struggles or even the idea that you can get better. because being introvert is just the way you are, its your innate personality trait, then thats never going to change right? your anxiety never gets better your depression never gets better you never find coping mechanisms and will just internalize all that and use it as an excuse to isolate yourself forever because youre sad and alone and dont know what to do.

in general we probably just as always need to offer more help + more support + less stigmatization for people with mental illness and neurodivergence and convince people that they CAN get better and dont have to be miserable forever just because theyre struggling now, even if it requires putting a little effort into it

#i really have been feeling much better since i put work into getting better #going outside leaving my comfort zone doing things that are hard #thinking positive even if overly cheesy instead of drowning in pessimism and nihilistic depression #its not easy and im in not way perfectly healthy but i do feel better and i do feel i can get even better #you just feel better once you stop making sadness an inherent part of you #ask #anon

I'm fat. I'm neurodivergent. I'm queer. I'm ugly. I have bad acne. I'm introverted. I'm anxious. I'm terrified half of the time. I'm annoying. I'm cynical and pessimistic. I deserve good things.

i will constantly be sad about all the things bad in my life but simultaneously still assume everything will work out fine without any proactive intervention

#somehow suffering from pessimism and toxic positivity at the same time

time to read this article by the author of ornamentalism surely this will be fine

erm. the end of the pandemic? in march 2022? right after the biggest spike in cases in the us in january 2022? ok.

nonblack asian americans stop “borrowing” from afro-pessimism and keep it out of our mouths challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

#🌱 #i had ornamentalism on my reading list so I am. very disappointed to say the least #like okay i guess she’s speaking to a general audience (and a white male interviewer. lol) #so maybe explaining the nuances of afro-pessimism is difficult in this setting #but to suggest that asian americans need to ‘borrow’ from it b/c analyses of racism don’t ‘go beyond’ a black/white binary #is one of the most annoying and disrespectful things about asian american studies imo #and to go on and posit that her version of asian nihilism/pessimism is just like. xenophobia and orientalism. #there is nothing new being added here that is not already captured in a pre-existing framework of racism and colonialism and imperialism 😐 #i’m not saying there’s no need for asian american interventions in these theories #but can we not ‘borrow’ from afro-pessimism and pretend we’re saying something new when we’re absolutely not #I don’t understand if you actually engage with afro-pessimism you’ll find that it does not. in fact. act like racism is only black and white #the ‘pessimism’ in ‘asian-pessimism’ she’s suggesting in no way even begins to approximate what it means in ‘afro-pessimism’ #nonblack poc when we read about the ruse of analogy: huh wonder who that’s for.

It just feels like the people in my life dont really have that much sympathy for all the changes and struggles in my life until I'm stressed out of my mind about it. And part of that is i have a long history of not knowing how to express myself but it just feels like I always have to get to my wits end before someone says hey I can help with that we can work on this. Its always like i have to break down before my effort and my pain gets recognized...

#im sad tonight. #i really do try to stay positive especailly lately #because like i need that. to survive. the world is scary and there are a lot of bad things out there that feel hopeless but im optimistic #by nature and giving into my pessimism is just fuel for my depression but its so hard when everything is pulling you in different direction #idk. #im tired. i should sleep and hopefully ill feel better even though my sleep schedule has been absolutely ruined. #thats another thing #but whatever #just another pill to swallow #vent /
