Sad

I asked my jie mei whether she see any changes in me.

She said im getting more and more pessimistic.

But I told her I'm feeling happier.

At least for the time being, I'm not having negative thoughts mah.

not contradicting meh? Happy yet pessimistic. Sad yet optimistic?

kopiosatu SG

happiness and sadness are feelings.

pessimism and optimism are mindsets.

Devil1976 SG

It's always good to be happy yet pessimistic than sad yet optimistic...

Personally, I don't see what's really the big deal with being happy yet a little pessimistic.... Besides... It's just your jie mei's comments... And her comments based on her own personal opinion of your views? Shouldn't really take it too much to heart....

browniebaobao SG

i know.

so if u have are optimistic, then naturally u will be happy right?

so if u are happy, unlikely that u will be pessimistic right?
