naysaying
Naysaying refers to the act of expressing negative or pessimistic views, perceptions, or criticism about something. It involves saying 'no' to a proposal, idea, or situation, often with a focus on the potential problems or negative aspects rather than the positive ones. Naysayers are often habitual skeptics or pessimists who tend to oppose or doubt most things.
