One who frequently engages in excessive complaining, negative banter and/or a genuinely poor and downbeat attitude. Naysayers are distinguished by their tendency to consistently view the glass half
empty, make frequent one-way trips to negative town, and constantly emphasize the worst of a situation. They have the capacity to rant and whine for hours on
end about the most insignificant inconveniences. They tend to travel solo, but have the
keen ability to spread their pessimistic attitude to a group of unsuspecting bystanders and encourage others to employ their mindset.
Naysayers tend to
blend in with those around them rather well, granted they have learned over the years to adapt to their surroundings. However, when the opportunity arises, their true
nature will be exposed and they will stop at nothing to exclude others or bring a general sense of negativity to any situation.
Not to be confused with
non-naysayers who fight against the negativity brought forth by naysayers, make
the best of a situation and are not afraid to call out a naysayer on the
spot.
