Some examples of pessimism philosophy are: Depressive Realism, Antinatalism, Efilism.
Initially at first, I would like to include Nihilism as well, but as we know, there also exists what's called "Optimistic Nihilism", which basically says that Nihilism is not necessarily pessimistic in its view towards this life/reality/existence.
And I'm not sure too, if people who adhere to pessimism are mostly also depressed, or not necessarily?
Is there any good arguments against pessimism philosophy?
Or, is pessimism actually a rational, logical, intelligent, and realistic thought?

Very much like when a buttered slice of bread drops to the floor. Do I need to remind anyone which side usually contacts the dirt-ridden floor? To those who are unfortunate enough to live in a world where the buttered side hits the floor I suggest the so-called five-second rule. — TheMadFool

So it's like the pessimism vision goes through life as a frustrated, defending that image has of himself because he is afraid that what is outside will attack his authenticity. — armonie
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
