[Eumenides]

I am an optimist.

I optimistically think that my yahoo is going to magically get unstuck.

 

[Never]

romantic pessimist

 

[calypso_21]

Oh definitely an optimist!

 

[HeavyStick]

I call bullshit on that one. You don't come across as a pessimist...more of a sarcastic optimist.

mostly pessimist, depends on the subject

 

[riff]

Optimist, but I don't think it helps much.

 

[*bratcat*]

 

[Silverlily]

Neither, I consider myself a realist.

 

[Never]

You haven't told us which one you are, bratcat.

Silverlily, everyone considers themself a realist.

[marksgirl]

There are some things we cannot change. I gotta learn to deal with that.

There are some things we cannot change. I gotta learn to deal with that.

And by not worrying on that which we cannot change we can become optimistic about that which we can.

Not necessarily, I have a friend who always puts a positive spin on everything, even when he has to stretch the truth a little to get there. He's not a realist and knows it.

Besides, I only said I consider myself a realist, not unique.

 

[mischeviousmisti]

i am a pessimist with optimistic intentions. i've been kicked in the ass by reality a few too many times to really truly call myself an optimist

Okay then, would most people call you a optimist or a pessimist?

tru dat.

 

[Silverlily]

Are you realistically optimistic or realistically pessimistic?

It depends on the situation. If conditions are favorable, I'm realistically optimistic. If otherwise, I would lean toward pessimistic. I really don't favor one over the other.

No, a lot of people know they are optimists or pessimists.

I am a realist as well. I try to be optimistic.

Optimist: Half full.
Pessimist: Half empty.
Realist: Half full and half empty.

 

[Pagliacci]

Pessimist.
