I am an introvert with a bit pessimistic views of things.
As pointed out by @Tᴚoɯɐuo in this thread, the part "with a bit pessimistic views of things" doesn't look idiomatic.
I am an introvert, right. But I am not a pessimist to the extent of seeing only bad parts of a situation/thing. That's why I used 'a bit'.
I ponder over the negatives of an issue before moving to its positive sides. That's why I introduced a subordinate clause (not sure how the part ', with...' is called) instead of directly saying
I am an introvert and pessimist.
It seems too direct and inaccurate, isn't it?
I was wondering how we could improve it.
Thank you a lot.
Answer
"with a bit pessimistic view of things" is not idiomatic.
To make it idiomatic, you might use:
- with a rather pessimistic view of things
- with a somewhat pessimistic view of things
Or you could leave out the adverbs rather and somewhat or even use others: very, slightly, openly, etc., to qualify your pessimistic view.
