Can you do one for the opposite? My SO always says I'm pessimistic but I think I'm just realistic. I expect the worse and hope for the best. Anything other than a worst case scenario is a pleasant scenario.
The expectation you describe is the literal definition of pessimism.
It could be. I just don't feel that way. I feel like I'm always happier because the outcome is seldom the worst. Doesn't pessimistic thinking usually make for depressed people?
There are different levels of depression.

Huh, I always heard "hope for the best, plan for the worse". Which I think is a better strategy to handling the inevitable bad.
