i am the exact same as you i always think the worst ..it is just that i am pesamistic

i do it becausei think i have a trust issue...for example if i am waiting for someone and they are late i would thinkthat they were tricking me i have gooten used to it but it is still kind of annoying

Yeah i always assume the worse, s***ty thing is i'm usually right

but i think we do it so if we are right then we won't be as disappointed

know what you mean but I don't see it as "thinking the worst" - I just consider the possibilities - and they can be infinite - there's no good or bad, just what IS - if it's out there it's a possibility but who am I to apply any kind of value-judgement?

That's 100% me.... Cole, we keep agreeing like this, and we really will have to get married! Of course, then, there's your green card

Yeah, I always think the worst. I like to call myself the Optimistic Pesimist. I think the worst, and then, eigther I'm right, or I'm plesently surpized.
