Eh, you assume the worst and you get pleasantly suprised from time to time. Which is I think the biggest boon of pessimism, it either happens like you expected (and you're good because you prepared, otherwise what are you doing predicting the worst if not to prepare for it??) or it goes better so you're also good.
Yay pessimisim!
Anyways. There was this group of people a friend gathered recently, I was a part of it, it was mostly a FB thing and based on art and learning. She acted as this mentor figure of sorts (because she's just that good) and did tutorials and assignments and stuff. To cut it short, the activity went mostly on hiatus during the exam period and today she announced that for personal reasons she'd be leaving the group, and with it us to fend for ourselves. Now, that's not great but I'll manage, as will most of the people. The thing is, I want to ask her if everything is okay but for some reason can't bring myself to do it. We're not that close really, chat from time to time and the like, but still, I'd like to help if I can.
And I've had the chat open for a little while now, staring at it, wondering what to write, if anything, would I be intruding, would I be annoying, would it actually do anything helpful? Seriously, so many damn questions and I default to the worst possible answer every time, leaving the safest approach of doing fuck all the only logical one.
Yay pessimism!
