Reactions to Pessimistic Conversation
I'm just curious about what kind of reactions any of you have had if you have ever brought up philosophic pessimism to a friend. Now I realized that Ligotti clearly stated that no one wants to hear you complain in TCATHR, but I didn't take him too seriously. Recently after reading Conspiracy and starting "Better Never To Have Been" by Benatar, I decided to bounce a few ideas off a few friends to get their response. The reactions have ranged from eye-rolling and basic frustration to outright screaming and insulting. The other night one of my friends went on a belligerent tirade about how I the only reason I might invite pessimism is because my life was so great and that I was basically just a selfish A-hole. Believe me, you guys are the only ones I will discuss this with from now on. Anyone else had similar experiences?
