Poll: Optimist or Pessimist

[snowman6251]

Are you an optimist or a pessimist. I am most definitely an optimist. My life philosophy is "shit works itself out". I'm a pretty happy person as well. Certainly not a downer. So how about everyone else?

Also prediction, the internet is filled with primarily pessimists.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I'm not sure myself, it depends day to day.

I hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Which is it now?

 

[Shivarage]

Overall, pessimism is too destructive

 

[DiMono]

I tend to be an optimist. I like to believe people are basically good, and that things will ultimately work out. And if I do something stupid that leads to bad results, I take my lumps.

 

[unicron44]

Bad day, total pessimist. Every other time so optimistic.

 

[ChaoticLegion]

I'd certainly have to classify myself as a pessimist if I was to chose between only these two labels. I guess it just goes with my personality and my dry, cynical sense of humor.

 

[Berserker119]

I'm a little bit of both. Mostly optimism, but I can be pessimistic without even knowing it.

 

[HK_01]

I'm a realist. So I guess more of a pessimist...

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

I generally switch, but most days I'm an optimist.

 

[Jedamethis]

Optimist. If you fucked up, fix it. Don't start whining.

 

[Nouw]

As I said before

"When the shit is about to hit the fan, it turns the opposite direction and hits the stressful stuff. After destroying the negatives, it apologizes and melts in a cold cup of Sprite"

I'm an optimist and it works!

 

[Nimzar]

Realist.

When my life is good I take a pessimistic stance.

When my life is terrible I take an optimistic stance.

 

[Patrick Dare]

I'm an optimistic pessimist...or a pessimistic optimist...I don't know what I'm supposed to vote for.

 

[TheEndlessSleep]

My one rule in life: - Always assume the worst...

That way: If things go well, you're pleasantly surprised.
If they go badly, your not disapointed.

For example... i assumed Iron Man 2 would be shit on account of it being a sequel...

I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't shit

 

[SwimmingRock]

Scientist. The glass is at 50% of its maximum capacity and shit happens, good or bad. I try to evaluate based on objective data and not anticipate much other than I can logically argue.

That said, my mood does ofcourse influence me occasionally. And lack of coffee. Lack of coffee makes me a cynical, pessimistic a-hole.

 

[Smooth Operator]

I'm a realist, can't ignore facts, even when I try oh so hard.

 

[shirin238]

Sorry guys, I am a hardcore pessimist. Please don't hate me

 

[FrostyChick]

I see no point in being anything but an optimist. If there's something wrong with your life then fix it, don't just sit there whining about it. :3
