Personally, I don't see what's really the big deal with being happy yet a little pessimistic.... Besides... It's just your jie mei's comments... And her comments based on her own personal opinion of your views? Shouldn't really take it too much to heart.... -

hahaha Being happy or sad is condition at current state of mood, which fluctuate rapidly.
Pessimism and Optimism are attitude towards things, which doesn't fluctuate as rapidly as your mood and takes much impact/wisdom to change them.
An optimistic person would also encounter sadness in their life, vice versa.
Being optimistic allows them to deal with sadness in a more positive manner, but doesn't mean that this sadness is not felt, vice versa.

Happiness relates to your state of being(ie.it's transient), while pessimism relates to a mindset(ie.outlook on life).Originally posted by browniebaobao:Is it possible for someone to be happy and yet pessimistic at the same time
One could be a pessimist and happy at an instant, while remain a pessimist and angry/sad on another occasion. So with regards to your question, it certainly is possible.
