You're the optimist all the way through, pretending to be a pessimist on the inside, because you can act like it hurts less if you say you knew all along it was going to go down like that.

About This Quote

The quote, "You're the optimist all the way through, pretending to be a pessimist on the inside, because you can act like it hurts less if you say you knew all along it was going to go down like that" is a common phrase used to describe someone who always sees the good in things and pretends that nothing is wrong. This person acts as if everything is fine and as long as there is no sign of trouble, they will continue to pretend as if everything is fine. The way they see things every day is completely different from everyone else's and it often takes a certain amount of effort to keep them from seeing things differently.
