I agree with the people who think she's pessimistic. It's not that she has a pessimistic outlook - it's that she always assumes the worst in you and assumes you are at fault. I've stopped calling her because of the undertone of wanting to make you feel bad about yourself. It's really annoying and disempowering. Also, her predictions have not panned out, though she is good at picking up on the current state of things when she's not biased by negativity.
