Is it normal to enjoy being a pessimist?

I've always been negative about everything. people keep telling me to stop being so pessimistic and negative all the time, but I don't want to because I like being negative about things. because then, whenever I get a positive outcome, I feel grateful and it makes me happy because I typically expect the opposite to happen.

      It's better than being optimistic and being let down all the time. I find it more tiring when I'm let down by everyone. With a negative attitude, you might get to sometimes experience happy surprises, but with a positive attitude, all you feel is disappointment.

    Pessimists are never disappointed, and sometimes astounded.
    Live your life how you like it, if it works for you then you're fine.

    I've been called a pessimist, but I'd like to think of myself as a "realist".
