I totally agree, and find it hard to be (close) friends with folks who can't--or won't-- find pleasure in simple everyday things.

This is so good and so relatable. I think poking holes at things and trying to deflate potentially good plans or ideas is a coping mechanism for having dealt with some real crappy experiences. It’s a way of aligning yourself with and preparing for disappointment. It’s not necessarily bad but it’s just trying to take some control over the unknowns. At least for me.
