optionistic 

Considering every possible option available with an optimistic attitude

There are a lot of girls at this party; I'm going to be optionistic.

coron-optimistic

When someone thinks they have already been exposed to Covid-19, and thus have antibodies for it, because they had one or more symptoms of the disease between January and March 2020.

Todd: “I think I may have had it already. Back in January, I was really sick for like a week after hanging out with that girl that had just gotten back from Seattle.”

Me: “Yeah, then you probably HAVE had it already. Either that or you are just being a little Coron-optimistic.”

Optimistic Nihilism 

You know what's great about life? It doesn't matter. I don't mean that it doesn't matter what's great about life, I mean that what's great about life is that it doesn't matter. Politics doesn't matter, aliens don't matter, black holes don't matter, we don't matter.. nothing matters. We have nothing to prove, nothing to strive for. Life is nothing, it's probably an illusion anyway. We might as well all be dead. Why care about anything? See that painting - who cares? It probably doesn't exist.. but it sure is beautiful.. See that roller coaster? Oh, who cares, there's no point anyway.. but it sure is fun.. See that human you're in love with? Who cares, they're not even real and love is an illusion! Well yeah.. but it still feels really nice and it's a lot of fun.. so why not just kick back, relax and enjoy yourself on the pointless and non-existent but undeniably awesome ride of life!

B - If I'm a Nihilist, then why am I in love with A?! -internal crisis-
E - Dude, chill. Have you heard of Optimistic Nihilism...?

Optimistic Realist

Someone who is able to look at the positive side of life while maintaining a realistic viewpoint. Although seemingly contradictory (or even possibly as an oxymoron), it clearly is not due to the fact that realism has no positive or negative association, only a focus on the realistic elements of a situation.

Craig is an optimistic realist because while he understands that in reality, negative things can happen, that there is an equal chance that positive things will happen.

Optimistic Nihilism 

The knowledge that there is nothing. Everything life appears to be is but a perception. 'morals' and 'facts' are all subjective.
Despite this, the only escape provides little alternative, as that leads to the cessation of all thought. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts :)

I believe in Optimistic Nihilism. If there's nothing else out there, I still enjoy what I've got.

Optimistic Nihilism 

Finding comfort in the fact that everything is meaningless

Optimistic nihilism - “Life’s a pointless game. Nobody’s here for a reason and humanity itself is insignificant. Nothing is meant to be or set in stone. No one has a purpose to their life. It’s kind of comforting and freeing, you know.. really takes a weight off your shoulders” - C
