Pessimistic
When there's a lot of bad stuff going on in the world, it can feel like that bad stuff will only get worse. That kind of tone would be an example of being pessimistic.
What does a pessimistic tone mean?
Pessimistic describes the state of mind of someone who always expects the worst. A pessimistic attitude isn't very hopeful, shows little optimism, and can be a downer for everyone else. To be pessimistic means you believe evil outweighs the good and that bad things are more likely to happen.
Is pessimism a mood?
Optimists expect good things to happen and look for the silver lining when life doesn't go their way. Pessimism is not a trait most people aspire to. It's often associated with negativity, a "half-full" attitude, depression, and other mood disorders.
