The pessimistic person

The pessimist

Pessimism consists in believing that the worst awaits us in the future; the word pessimism (from the Latin pessimun), means terrible, the worst. As people can not predict their future in general, and what could happen to them in the future, pessimism is nothing more than a presumptive judgment, but one lives with certain doses of certainty in the pejorative connotations that characterize it and It is loaded with despair.

We must distinguish between being pessimistic and being pessimistic. When we say that a person is pessimistic we refer to someone in whom pessimism is part of him, that is, he has a pessimistic personality, predisposed to not being able to achieve something, even without trying to do it. His lack of hope in the future and his negative thoughts that arise in his head, make his mood stay at a very low level in terms of optimism.

The pessimistic person has a conception of life, at least, skeptical; is a person who sees everything in bad, nothing is totally attractive, everything has an added disadvantage, pleasurable experiences, joyful events last for a short time for this type of people, while painful experiences are experienced with great intensity and persistence. fall even, in psychological crises. This personality profile seems to favor the appearance of depressions, which is why some have spoken of predepresive personalities.

The philosophy of the pessimist

His philosophy of life is a negative attitude, he prefers to believe that things will always get worse and only consider the unfavorable side of the facts, without seeing the possibility of any viable alternative. In simpler words, they believe they live in the worst of all possible worlds, or something similar.Source

Pessimism or depression!

In other cases, pessimism are those moments in which a person feels pessimistic sporadically, that is, during a few hours of the day; the feeling that things are going to go wrong in the future, perhaps this arises from a previous failure, this type of pessimism is related to the decreases of the mood; people when they are discouraged with a lack of optimism, usually remember the worst events of the past that for them good things no longer count.

If a person who during his life has shown to be an optimist with a positive mind to do things, and suddenly enters a phase of pessimistic thoughts for months, especially if not justified by some serious external event, this would no longer be pessimism but depression.

Scientists discover a genetic variation that causes pessimism in people

The explanation for this attitude in people is due to a variant in the ADRA2b gene. This was the result of a study conducted among a group of 200 people from the University of British Columbia

Why is it that many people have a predisposition to see everything negative?

The answer to this is by a variant of the ADRA2b gene. This was demonstrated by a team of researchers from the University of British Columbia, who demonstrated the reasons for the exacerbated pessimism shown by some people.

"The experiment looked at the exposure of subjects to different words every tenth of a second, and they saw that the carriers of this genetic variant were more sensitive to negative stimuli."
