There are many things to a pessimist. For one thing, they are probably the saddest, angriest people you will ever meet in your life. They will always be a downer, and there remarks will either lead to an argument or an awkward silence. But they can’t help it, so instead of trying to turn them, live with it.
Befriend them, no matter how much your worlds collide.
Tell them everything is going to be okay no matter what the negative thoughts brewing in their mind is saying.
Make them shake with laughter. Everyone loves to laugh; even pessimists.
Write them the happiest song, in the saddest tune.
Have little arguments, which will end ambiguously.
Hold them when they cry, even if they try to force you away. Hold them silently and let them blame themselves. Hold them even if they blame you.
Tell them that no matter what happens in life, you will always be there no matter how many walls they put up, because you will stand firm wishing them away.
Tell them at the end of the day, no matter what they say, no matter what kind of downer remark they say, no matter how much you argue, no matter how much they hate the world that it is okay to, because they can’t help it
; Just like you can’t help falling in love with them.
