Yeah, I really like that idea because, I mean, it's not me, but I love it for you because it's not like, well, this is just going to happen to me no matter what.
It's like, boy, I have a bad feeling that this is going to happen to me unless I take these steps.
Right.
The only downside of it is like you won't let yourself think about the future being good because you'll jinx it, essentially.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jinxing is a whole other part of this thing.
So what you just described, though, is what I think is the worst one, fatalistic pessimism, which is everything's wrong and I can't do anything to change it.
That is a sad, sad disposition that I like to think that is not set in stone.
It's just because of life circumstances or it's a particular low point in your life.
I don't know.
But I don't like to think that anyone out there is at their base of fatalistic pessimists.
That's just sad.
Yeah.
Yeah, agreed.
On the flip side of that coin, you have toxic positivity.
I mean, we almost don't even need to say anything else because I think everyone knows what that is.
It can lead to bad things because like that's sort of the Pollyanna thing I was talking about.
You're ignoring anything negative.
To like basically you're delusional about that.
