Why do negative pessimists always try to bring you down to their level?

Answer 1

because they cant stand to see anybody else have an optimistic outlook on things are therefore feel the need to bring people down to their way of thinking

Answer 2

Well, I can answer from a negative pessimist's point of view. I'm not often that way, but when I get really depressed I am. When I'm that negative, I want ppl to get down to my level cause I feel so lonely, and I want someone to feel the way I do, so I know I'm not alone. And plus, it just helps me to vent what I'm feeling, it's possible some pessimists don't want anyone to get to their level, but rather have someone who will listen to them. But, also (I don't do this but some do) the person might see others being happy, become jealous, and make everyone else miseralbe. Just some thoughts

Answer 3

I believe there are people out there that want to keep things comfortable for themselves and even if you shared a common emotion but on a different day they would hold back not offering compassion or joy for your emotion because all they can feel is what is in their own hearts. Perhaps we should give a pessimistic person space and focus attention where it is needed or wanted.., not with the biggest ego in the room!!!

Answer 4

because their projecting there negative out look onto you. They don't like to see others being optimistic as they have the inability to do the same. they also always seem to have this sense of self righteousness and think their right in thinking the way they do. they see themselves as "realists" when in fact they are just negative. They think of things negatively and then when it becomes their reality because they have subconsciously made it happen by thinking negatively they see themselves as being right further reinforcing their self righteous attitude. you would commonly hear them saying "well I'm always right about things so why think positively" or similar when they in fact create self full filling prophecy after self full filling prophecy. Also self righteous people feel the need to correct people and enforce their views on others, hence they try to bring others down, sometimes thinking their doing them a favour.

Answer 5

Here is a true story lobsters don't need a lid on when they are in that aquarium in a restaurant. They can actually climb out, but when one is almost out, the others all jump up and pull it back in. So its not just human nature. Try distracting them lobsters with a few choice jokes, when them got tears in their eyes, run as fast as you can, freedom is within your grasp ask Buddha.

Answer 6

"Misery loves company." And negativity is contagious, so avoid these people where possible. They just can't stand to see anyone who is getting on with their lives, they want to see everyone more miserable than they are so they can feel superior. Totally sad people.

Answer 7

Due to the fact that they are pessimists, they don't know better

Answer 8

'cause they don't understand how some people can see life throught a a better angle. they've been probably hurt before and disappointed when creating too much expectation and lost the will of believing that things can work as we want them to work. they're probably jealous of people who are positive
