Actually wait no a life full off banter sounds fantastic I may rescind that opinion.
This is unrealistic. Optimists aren’t supposed to have a grasp on Reality, nor Reason.
Not necessarily true. I know several optimists that have a very firm grasp on reality, as well as reason. It’s just less noticable in them.
How? (I ask genuinely cus I’m confused)
Oof, tough question. There’s this analogy my dad used to make; think of it like the pessimist and optimist are both looking at a Mobius strip. The optimist, looking at it from one angle, says it’s a circle. The pessimist, looking from another, says it’s a figure eight. They’re both accurately describing the Mobius strip, but coming at it from totally opposite viewpoints.
Hope that analogy makes sense. :)
Not necessarily. Nina is an optimist that understands the harsh realities of this world, but also sees the potential for change.
Amen to that, Anon.
The thing being discussed in this comic? I never understood it.
Also, Nina seems rather well-versed in psychology for a store clerk.
Some people who have lotsa time decide to think about/learn lotsa things.
Well she does work in the book section.
Sorting books doesn’t give as much time for reading them as you’d think.
Why is it that everyone else seems to have this experience in common?
I never had a problem saying I liked people. I apparently proposed to my favorite daycare worker. I can’t remember anything about her, but my brothers teased me quite a bit about that.
