I would suggest that you should look to the root of her pessimism. Thats not natural for a child her age. Once you understand that, you can help her to change her outlook - but without understanding the cause, you will only be forcing your own views on her...

Optimists are pessimists and pessimists are optimists. I certainly have by no potential met an optimist that did no longer have faith that optimism replaced into had to make their worldwide artwork. they haven't any room for that risky indulgence, a frown. Pessimists think of they are able to harm out with that physique of ideas. there's a extreme degree of secure universe had to be a pessimists. Optimists do no longer share that blessed creative and prescient of the worldwide. Optimist think of that they worldwide's a risk, Pessimists think of it incredibly is a dropping wager. Skeptic short sheet their very own mattress, Me? i would be a cynic, till the day i'm ineffective.

Easily done for a moment if the person is open to just imagining the possibilities. For the outlook to become more permanent, there must be an actual success to prove the possibility. For now show her all that she has succeeded at that was hard and what is good about her life.

Other than drugs, no. It's just the person's personality. Some people go through life as optimists, such as myself, and others go through life as pessimists, like many in my wife's family.

yes you can, but it calls for drastic measures. First you must kidnap the person and take them to an area where the people who possess the characteristic reside, and then leave that person immersed in the culture for at least 3 years. Although you might serve prison time, you will be helping this person immense
