And if you are pessimistic and idealistic, then you go around calling everyone sheep, and berating them for their "materialism" and "corporate whoring," and can't understand why everyone doesn't agree with your rampant anger at the world... and at that point one can be assumed to be the most annoying person on the Earth, and can be expected to remain so for another several years before finally growing up.
