ONE OF FIFTY SITUATIONS
“I expect good things to go wrong.”
You are not a pessimist. You are treating a forecast as a fact.
What this can look like
A place has opened on a workshop you wanted to attend. The organizer has confirmed your registration and sent the date. Before you have looked at the materials, you find yourself waiting for the opportunity to fail: perhaps the session will be cancelled, perhaps you will discover you are unsuitable, perhaps something will make the whole offer disappear. Nothing has failed so far. The expected ending has arrived ahead of the event itself.
A prediction concerns what may happen. Current evidence concerns what has happened or is available to check now. In this scene, the registration confirmation is evidence that you have a place under the stated conditions. It is not proof that every part of the workshop will go well. The imagined cancellation is a possibility, but unless a relevant warning has appeared, it is not an event that has already occurred. These statements can coexist without requiring optimism.
