Pessimism
Pessimism is an attitude of mind and a way to look at life. Pessimists believe that generally things are bad, and the world people live in is the worst possible world.
Someone who uses the philosophy is called a pessimist, they are the opposite of an optimist.
An example of pessimism is seeing that a glass of water is "half empty", not "half full".
