The word "pessimistic" means having a negative or gloomy outlook on things. A pessimistic person tends to expect the worst possible outcome or believes that bad things are more likely to happen than good things.
Example:
- If someone is pessimistic about a situation, they might say, "I don’t think this project will succeed," or "Things will probably get worse."
In short:
- Pessimistic = expecting bad outcomes, seeing the negative side.
