So, I've been trying this new thing called the "optimism diet." It's where you consume positivity like it's your last meal. My friends said, "You need to be more positive." So, I tried it. I went to a self-help seminar. The speaker said, "You are what you eat." Well, now I'm a unicorn. I've even got this app that sends me positive affirmations every hour. It's like having a tiny life coach in my pocket. But let me tell you, it's not as motivating as you'd think. "You can do it!" it chirps while I'm sitting on the couch with a bag of chips. Yeah, I can eat this entire family-sized bag of chips. Positive thinking, right?
They say positivity attracts success. Well, I've been positive for a month, and all I've attracted is a parking ticket and a common cold. Maybe I need to be more specific with my affirmations. "I attract wealth and happiness, not traffic fines and germs!"
But seriously, optimism is overrated. Have you ever tried telling a pessimist a happy story? It's like trying to teach a cat to do the cha-cha. They just stare at you like you've lost your mind.

So, I've decided to write a self-help book for pessimists. It's called "The Pessimist's Guide to Life: Embrace the Inevitable." Chapter one: "Expect Nothing, Avoid Disappointment." It's a bestseller among people who always see the glass as half-empty. I have chapters on how to ruin every party, how to find the downside of a promotion, and a special section on relationship advice titled "Love is Temporary, Divorce is Inevitable." I'm telling you; it's the guidebook for those of us who refuse to wear rose-colored glasses.
But here's the kicker—I'm already planning the sequel. It's called "The Pessimist's Guide to Success: Because Failure is the Only Option." Spoiler alert: it doesn't end well. But hey, at least I warned you.

You know, I'm so good at being negative that I've turned it into a business—negative networking. I go to networking events and burst everyone's positivity bubble. They'll be talking about their new project, and I'll chime in with, "Good luck with that. Statistically, most startups fail." I hand out business cards that say, "John Doe: Expert Pessimist." I'm the guy you want in your corner when the chips are down because I've already predicted they would be.
I even tried speed networking once. You get 60 seconds to sell yourself. I used 58 seconds to list all the things that could go wrong in the next minute. Needless to say, no one wanted to network with me after that.
But hey, in the world of negative networking, every rejection is a success. I consider it a win if someone says, "I never want to see you again." It's like having a reverse fan club.

You know, folks, I've been accused of being negative. Can you believe that? Me, negative? I prefer to think of it as being positively challenged by life. I mean, if life gives you lemons, just find someone with tequila, right? But seriously, negativity is like a cozy blanket—it's warm, comforting, and everyone else thinks you're a bit weird for clinging onto it. I tried positive thinking once. It was exhausting. I had to smile at strangers, compliment my neighbor's dog, and worst of all, I had to look in the mirror and say, "Today is going to be a great day!" I nearly scared myself. I looked like a deranged motivational speaker on a caffeine overdose.
Being negative is like having a superpower. I can predict the future—my friends will call, and I'll say, "What now?" And sure enough, it's always something. My phone should come with a cape.
But honestly, folks, being negative has its perks. I'm never disappointed because I expect the worst. It's like setting the bar so low that even a snail could limbo under it. And let's not forget the joy of saying, "I told you so." It's the only reward for being a pessimist.
