Pessimistic ppl are not more realistic, like... thinking that the worst possible scenario is the most likely scenario as a general rule has no rational basis
I always thought it amusing how pessimistic ppl think in that sense, they're often even more delusional than optimistic ppl, even tho both are wrong most of the times
So no, depression doesn't make you more of a "realist", just more of a sad person really.
