    Former realist leaning pessimist, now a passionate optimist. Within every failure lies a new opportunity, evident or not. That said, if I actually fail something like say a test, then I'd freak out and go wangster 8D

    Am I passivly aggressive or Aggressivly passive? Oh wait, thats not the question.

    Im a realist with a bit of a pessimistic side. Anything that is really important, I tend to think that it'll be negative. That way if I do accomplish it, I feel great, and if I dont, I dont feel like a turd sandwich on the side of a road.

    Optimistic. My life has gone pretty well, I have got pretty much all what I wanted, so I have no reason to think tomorrow will be any worse than today.

    I'm more of a realist when I look at a situation, but I'll sway to each side of thing depending on what side the person I'm talking to seems to be on. Talking to an pessimist, I'll try to be more optimistic. Optimist? Vice versa. What can I say? I like giving people a hard time.

    I have a tendancy to be very pessimistic in some situations.
    But then other times I'm realistically optimistic (not overly optimistic, optimistic within reason, if you will). XD
    It really depends on the situation/topic for me.

    I'm more of a realist, but I think that's just another word for being a pessimist. xD
    When things look bad, I just say what I expect to happen. When things look good, I say what I expect to happen. I try to look at the worst-case scenario, because I don't like raising my hopes up and have them crash down again when the good turns bad.

    I try to be an optomist, and I usually am for when it comes to things I really want (which either makes me really happy or really sad in the end), but most of the time I am realistic with things. It's probably the best way to look at things because then you're not getting your hopes up and you're not depressing yourself about something.

    I 'd say it depends on the situation whether I am either Optimistic or Realistic.

    I'm kinda a Pessimist, and kinda a Realist.
    I look at the negative things in people, but I look at my surroundings and the world I live in as it is.

    Mostly realist, with a bit of pessimist mixed in for good measure.

    I'm usually an optimist. Having hope helps you to see that not all is bad, so I'm usually pretty optimistic about things.

    When I'm depressed I slip into realist mode...hard to avoid, but at least I'm not pessimistic. x3
