Because when you feel hopeless, you rely more on others and external factors to take care of your satiation. You may also believe that you have no personal agency. So, you do not invest time in preparation, planning and becoming stronger from inside and you would be optimistic that the external circumstances would turn out to be good automatically. Here you are optimistic of the future but hopeless on your personal responsibility and agency.
Hopeful pessimism most of the times would work in favour of you. Since you are pessimistic of the future, you are expecting that the external factors would most probably would not care for help you automatically. You believe that the external events are random in nature and generally people do not care about what you need what you want who you are and what you are going through in life. Because of that you are inherently motivated to develop yourself and be self reliant to overcome your difficulties and reach a higher standard. This makes you resilient in unexpected situations. Here you are pessimistic on the future but hopeful on your personal responsibility and agency.
