    It really ends up depending on the day for me. I'm usually a pretty laid back, optimistic person, but there are always those days where the glass seems to be 'half empty.'

    I don't know which one stands for Optimistic but that's what I am, I look at the bright side of things because that's the best way to live my live for me.

    Sometimes I am down but I'm not Persimistic, I just have one of those dys when you feel like a "Teenager".

    I like to see myself as an Optimist and I generally am, only on bad days I am a strong Pessimist. Depends really. I always tend to see things on the brighter side.

    Whether it is half full, or half empty, it is just the same to me. It's just half-way.

    Depends on the situation. When the sun is shining and the people are in a good mood, I'm optimistic. If it's the opposite, of course I'm pessimistic.

    Generally, I can be an optimistic person. But at times, I fear for the worst and thats where i'm at my pessimistic stage. It happens rarely so I can still be considered optimistic.

    And the glass is half-full.

    Being a perfectionist, I always look at how empty my glass it. If my glass is 10% empty, hell I'm not satisfied. I do tend to look at the bright side of things and hope for improvement, even if such improvements are unrealistic. Then again, that depends on the issue. Therefore, I choose "depends on the day".

    pessimist, well, sorta...

    the way i figure it, the lower the bar you set for yourself, the more pleased you'll be at the results.

    so it's like pessimistic to be optimistic? i dunno, i think my logic is confusing me

    Now I remember, My Physics teacher asked that to a few kids excluding me. I was on the "Glass half full". I'm always optimistic. I mostly focus towards the Positive points.

    Usually half full, because if you were going to fill a glass you would normally fill it more than half. So by the time it's down to half, it would be half empty, because it's lost the rest of the liquid.

    Depends on how I feel. If I'm sad, depressed or just really really stressed out I'm like "THE GLASS IS FREAKING HALF EMPTY!!" *rips people's heads off*
    Yeah...^^; I can be very pessimistic then.

    However most of the time, when I'm happy and in a good mood. I'm extremely optimistic, to the point that I annoy the hell out of others. x3

    I guess I'm more of a realist, as I think of the best and worst outcomes, and make sure I'm prepared for either. When I look at the said glass, I say "lol, that's the thing from the philosophical debate everyone's hyped up on."

    Seriously, the glass just has 50% water, and 50% air. :D
