It’s called “depressive realism.” Sharot writes, “If you ask mildly depressed individuals what they expect in the upcoming month, they will give you a pretty accurate account.

"mildly depressed"?
ReplyDeleteBut worry not - they give us pillzzz...
ReplyDeleteTo put it another way, I would rather be a pessimist who is, at least occasionally, pleasantly surprised than an optimist who is constantly disappointed.

ReplyDelete"mildly depressed"?
The official County of L.A. Mental Health Dep't. diagnosis is bi-polar, but anything resembling mania manifests as (entirely justified) rage & the urge to kill.
Pillz don't work. They're just part of the vast conspiracy to keep us & people like us from murder, which only fuels the rage.
