Definition
A person who rejects optimism and expects or predicts negative outcomes; one who opposes optimistic thinking.
Etymology
From antioptimism + -ist (one who practices or believes). Emerged as a term for those philosophically opposed to optimistic worldviews.
Kelly Says
Some antioptimists aren't just pessimists—they're actively arguing that optimism is dangerous because it blinds people to real problems they should be solving!
