Ugh. I can be such a pessimist sometimes. D: But on the same token I can be so optimistic too. It's odd. I'm genereally pessimistic more often than I am Optimistic but when I'm feeling optimistic there's nothing out there that can outshine it.
It all depends on how I feel. But I voted pessimist because that's generally where I am most often. Slightly pessimistic. But even then I always say the glass is half full. I'm just eccentric like that. XD

I'm usually very negative now, always complaining and finding fault with everything. But if it's something I want to make happen, then there's my glimmer of optimism. Though I call glasses half full even if it's a tiny amount.. Empty is a weird and cold word. D;

For the most part I'm a rather positive person. But I'm also realistic, if something isn't gonna happen I'm not the one who's gonna still believe it will.

I feel that I'm pessimistic for situations that are directed for me, and optimistic for situations that are directed at other people. If someone good might happen to someone else (and I like the person) then I want the best to happen for the person. As for myself, I always have a poor outlook on life. If something bad will happen to me, it will, and I won't be surprised.

I'm an optimist. At times, it would have to vary on the severity of some situations though. Overall, I believe I am rather positive.

Simply put, I'm pessimistic. /=

As for the actual glass question, there is actually a certain way to answer it. If it was emptied down to the half-way point, then it is half-empty. If it was being filled but stopped at half, then it is half-full. ^_^'

It's 3/4 full >>

It matters on the situation that I'm in. I'm usually extremely optimistic, and nothing can get in the way of my HAPPEHNESS
, but geez... math tests, the 1/4 of the emptiness in that cup makes a difference >>'

A lot of difference ><

I'm so so... I try to be possitive, but most of the time, if I happen to run into some kind of problem, well, I go through two phases: first, I become a bit maniatic (cursing everyone and everything), and after that, when things don't seem to work anymore I just get depressed and start thinking "oh well, this is over... there's nothing I can do about it", it's really hard to keep going when it that phase (Most of the time it really is over, so I try not to reach that phase...)

I admit I'm quite pessimistic.
I focus too much on the negative whenever something happens.

I'm a bit optimistic about some things though.

I'm an optimistic realist. I know when things are simply out of my reach, but damn if I don't hope for it anyway. :D In general, though, I am pretty optimistic about everything. I just don't understand the point of being a pessimist. I mean, it can't be fun to look at everything in a negative light, can it? o_O

Though I've never been able to stand this analogy, I like to sit within the optimistic.

I say I'm optimistic because I always hold that everything will be alright in the end.

Though some things I accept might never be alright. And might never happen. But more often it doesn't stop me wishing for it.

I'm ussually always optimistic even if its just for the people around me. My brother or myself after a bad hockey game are the only things i tend to get negative about. Or homework, that's definately one thing.

I'm ussually always optimistic though, I have trouble staying angry even if I want to, I'm always laughing at something stupid, being random and being positive. I think it annoys people though.
