Rational v Emotional

We let our emotional side override our rational side; we let the “what ifs” smother the facts.  Maybe it’s more a female trait than a male trait.  I know I’ll always assume the worst in a situation and often end up feeling like an idiot when I find out what really happened. 

It’s a hard habit to break; but it’s easier to prepare yourself for the worst, rather than hope for the best and be bitterly disappointed.  Though, having said that, you always tuck a little glimmer of hope away at the back of your mind.

So what am I saying here?  That I’m just a hopeful pessimist!
