I'm keeping clear for some it's just comes naturally to be negative. i would wager that 99% of them are glass half empty in most aspects of their lives. the dortmund match thread was so depressing. so in keeping with the topic of this thread, i really don't get how people have such a negative outlook of all aspects of life. they must be miserable (i'm excluding those with actual mental illnesses of course and referring only to those of otherwise sound mind) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not knocking you keeping her indoors, it’s better that than her not having a home, obviously!) I just think that’s what cats want to do. I’ve always had outdoor cats, and of 4 over 37 years only one got lost (and he was really old, so we figured he probably just went off to curl up and die, like they sometimes do). The others all died of things like tumours and nothing to do with roads. Funnily enough, after we lost our last cat last year, my wife got us 2 Siamese cats. Neither of us realised at the time that if we let them out, they will almost certainly get stolen (they’re super friendly, so would go to anyone), so these are now indoor cats, and I’ve spent the last few weeks building a sodding 9ft x 6ft ‘Catio’ for them to regularly go outside.

I'm keeping clear Half the threads in there seem to just be a couple of posters spending their entire day on "X" and copy and pasting absolutely anything villa related directly into threads. It's like a race to see who can post them first.

CarryOnVilla Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) I don’t get how pessimists think they’re “realistic” about a future outcome , yet optimists are fully aware that they’re hopeful about the same outcome. Yet when it comes to luck, good things happen as much as bad things. So what makes the pessimist the realist and the optimist not? Or is the “realist” a whole different thing Edited August 15 by CarryOnVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, when it comes to luck, good things happen as much as bad things. So what makes the pessimist the realist and the optimist not? Or is the “realist” a whole different thing The way I see it, no-one wants to be seen/labelled as a pessimist and very few people will willingly identify as one. So they would rather call themselves realists. The optimist, by virtue of being optimistic, would probably admit that the outcome they're looking for is less likely than other outcomes. Not impossible, but less likely. So in that sense the pessimist could be described as being 'more realistic' than the optimist. But they are also probably aware deep down that they are being a miserable sod. They just don't want to admit it out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
