Are you an Optimist or a Pessimist?

[Kaboose the Moose]

I think it's dependent on the situation at hand. One cannot just have a preset view on the world/life, it changes depending on the obstacles or events we encounter.

So I say depends.

 

[ae86gamer]

I'm an optimist. Uh... that is all.

 

[heyheysg]

I'm a realist

I'm a romantic

I am indecisive

 

[Raven's Nest]

I consider myself to be a pessimistic idealist...

I could justify that the world is a pretty crap place to live.(realist)

I know world could be a better place (idealist), but I doubt it ever will be...(pessimist)

But in a strange way, I hope an apocalpyse comes soon (optimist)... Simply because I believe such an event would lead to a better world.(spiritualist)

 

[RanD00M]

I´m realistic.Lets take the half glass thing for example.

If the glass was empty and is filled half way up it's half full.

If the glass was full and i poured out of it to the middle it's half empty.

 

[Ammadessi]

I tend to have a healthy dose of perspective, and no desire to mope about things I can't change, which I suppose makes me an optimist. I don't mind getting my hopes dashed now and again, because hey, that's life. I'd much rather BE hopeful for things instead of just thinking that everything was going to be doom and gloom.

 

[Desert Tiger]

Optimistically pessimistic. I see the good in people, but I also see the bad. I decide which one's more relevant.

 

[obliterate]

I am a realist...I don't need to believe in something...only in myself...a man's true power comes from within him...I BELIEVE WHAT I SEE

 

[similar.squirrel]

In theory, a constructive pessimist. In reality, a pathetic pessimist.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

Pessimists are rarely disappointed.

 

[Spitfire175]

I'm not only a pessimist, but also a misanthrope and a cynic.

 

[microhive]

If I wasn't optimistic I wouldn't be doing good now. Anyway, Yeah, pretty optimistic in any situation.

 

[Gingerman]

When someone asks me if the glass is half full or empty I ask "Was it being filled or drained?" what does that make me? an annoying person.

 

[Photon987]

An idealistic optimist at heart, but harsh reality makes me a bitter, misanthropic, cynical pessimist in practice.

I must say, I rather like it.

 

[Ryuk2]

Realist, but i seem to be pessimistic some times.

 

[j1-2themax]

Pessimist. I will always look for the bad before the good.

 

[brainfreeze215]

I'm an optimist to the point where excessive pessimism annoys me.

 

[Sephiwind]

I consider my self a realist bordering on pessimist.

The glass is neither half full, nor half empty. It is constantly full. It's half filled with water, and half filled with air. Only in a vacuum state can the glass ever be not full.

 

[Zuljiin]

I hope I'm an optimist. See what I did there?

Also, a pessimist is what an optimist calls a realist.

And finally, there's nothing more depressing than seeing a young pessimist except for seeing an old optimist.

E: These were all references. I'm aware of that.

I'm an unrealistic pessimist.
