"Would you rather be right or be happy?" I think you've just hit upon my greatest weakness! 😅

I struggle with this because for me personally adopting a realistic mindset has been best for my mental health, as opposed to an optimistic or pessimistic view. Rationality e.g. seeing the world as accurately as possible is one if my strongest values, so it doesn't feel right to tell myself something that i don't know to be real, even if it might help. There's always a skeptical part of my brain saying "Yeah...i dunno about that..."

​​ @AwakenZen Pessimistic = you expect things to generally turn out badly. Realistic (in my opinion) = you withhold judgement about how things will turn out because you cannot predict the future. It could turn out any number of ways
