As a pessimist, I personally am happier than every optimist I know. Here's why I'm always happy:
1) If I expect the worst, and someone excellent happens, then awesome!
And now the good part:
2) If i expect the worst, and it actually does happen, then at least I was right!
it is totally opposite for optimists, if someone goes wrong then not only are the wrong, but they are also unhappy, my way you always win
