I'll start this off by saying I have an opinion on everything and I know what I like and dislike. I don't care much for others opinions on the matter.
So I was sitting around having lunch with a few friends (two girls whom I don't know to well, two boys and me) and the conversation was pretty mundane, the usual boring stuff about we like/dislike (I think, cant really remember). Then one girl says to me "You know, you are a pretty pessimistic person", I was kinda taken aback, "bah, I'm not a pessimist I just know what
I like "I replied with a smirk on my face. The girl looked confused and said "Don't you know was pessimist means?". At this point my two male friends looked at each other and say almost simultaneously "lets change the subject" and, "I don't want to be in this conversation". I found that rather weird.
This lead me to thinking, if a girl who I hardly know calls me a pessimist and my friends look uncomfortable and change the subject when it comes up what does this have to say about the persona I am projecting? Should I not give my true opinion on a subject just to appear more optimistic? Should I just shut up or should I continue not to care?
So Mr and Miss DJ's, I am requesting some advice about this rather confusing situation.
