Your Type
When uncertain, your mind automatically starts running 'what if the worst case happens?' simulations. Not pessimism — your brain is doing risk management. As long as you have a 'worst case is still survivable' plan, you can keep going. Your rehearsals minimize shock from sudden events.

Defensive Pessimism research (Julie Norem) shows people who actively rehearse worst cases recover emotionally from real failures 37% faster than 'optimists' — because their brain has already completed preliminary adaptation to possible pain.
