Understanding Pessimism: Definition, Examples, and Impact

Pessimistically means having a negative or gloomy outlook on something. It implies that one expects the worst possible outcome or result, and may be skeptical or doubtful about the possibility of a positive outcome.

For example, if someone says "I'm pessimistic about the chances of success for this project," it means they think the project is likely to fail or not go well.

In contrast, an optimistic person would have a more positive outlook and expect a good outcome, while a realistic person might have a neutral or balanced view, neither overly optimistic nor pessimistic.
