Interacting with a pessimist depends on what you, personally, are.

As a pessimist: Interacting with one who likely shares at least some of your views should not be too difficult. The best way to interact/build a relationship with a pessimist in this example is to find common ground, and work from there.

As an optimist: Interacting with a pessimist in this situation can be very trying, and often is frustrating to both parties. However, first, you can not change how the other person thinks or acts, and this is a good thing to keep in mind. Second, try to find something, almost anything, really, that the pessimist might be neutral on. Third, do not challenge or constantly question his/her pessimistic views. That will only frustrate or anger you both. Fourth, if this is not a family tie, but someone from/for work, try to simply tell him/her what they need to do, do not discuss anything in detail. If it is a family tie, do not get into any arguments, which neither can win.
