Boundless optimism

Another way of saying bliss, or blind optimism that sounds even more positive, even though it all means the same thing.

Boundless optimism sounds good, but really it's no different than a state of bliss where everything is okay, and everything will be okay.

Empty Optimism

People being optimistic when there's really nothing to be optimistic about. A sense that someone's positivity has no merit and is practically wasted because almost if not everything is purely negative at the time. This kind of thinking can be toxic because being happy all the time, even and especially during hardship, doesn't necessarily solve anything.

I'm getting tired of the amount of Empty Optimism that everyone around me is exerting. There's really nothing to be happy about right now.

Cautious optimism

Theres no such thing as cautious optimism. Cautious optimism is cynicism. Thinking the sky is going to fall and trying to look forward to the little bit of good left in things before it does is cynicism. Really, having a bucket list is cynicism, since even though it becomes more likely that you'll die soon when you get older, once the mystery isnt there you're not really living anyway, you're just trying to live the rest of your days as an adrenaline junkie before the crash at the end, to go out with a bang, that's cynicism. Most thoughts disguised as positive are really cynical by nature.

Fuck positive thoughts and people, they think the end is a crash and it becomes one for everybody else too. There is no cautious optimism.

radical optimism

Dua Lipa’s 3rd studio album, including the hits Training Season and Houdini. Produced by Kevin Parker aka Tame Impala, the album is composed of psychedelic pop and electro-pop, bringing a newer sound to Dua Lipa’s catalog. The album has an almost euro-summer vibe to it that is perfect to listen to by the pool. Best pop album of 2024!!!!

Have you listened to radical optimism yet? My favorite song is These Walls.

Hypothetical Optimism

When someone tells you “things get better” but that isn’t really true. They say this because they have a hypothetical belief that you can have someone to help you get better.

1:Hey man, you have someone to talk to, trust me.
2:That’s hypothetical optimism because I have no one to talk to. I’m also lonely as fuck.

Das's Law of Optimism/Pessimism

The glass is twice as big as it needs to be. Get there.

Das's Law of Optimism/Pessimism is derived from something said by George Carlin. It explains that sometimes you expect too much of yourself and it gets you down in life.
