i am a realist, always have been and always will be!! sometimes people think im being negative, when im just being realistic!! sometimes people dont like the truth!!
I'm constantly being accused of being pessimistic, when in reality, I just see a given situation for what it is. so I agree evaluation entirely; realists get a bad rap.
its just, i can understand if people stay positive at times when its possible to get a positive outcome in a certain situation, but sometimes there are situations where things are just not going to work out, no matter how positive you try to be, so i dont see the point in being positive all the time!!
