GOING FOR THE WIN-WIN
i don't want to have to be jaded. i want to believe that not all people are worthless.
but, in some cases, it might just be easier to assume the worst in someone. that way, you can either be pleasantly surprised that life isn't as bad as you thought it was, or satisfied that you were correct in the first place. this is much better than assuming the best, where you can either be depressed by the fact that people aren't really as good as you'd like to have it, or you can be satisfied that you were correct in the first place.
situation #1 (assuming the worst) seems like the win-win, in my opinion.
"there's someone for everybody. for some people, there are two someones. i like to call that the jackpot."
