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.

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.

I'm pessimistic for the most part, though there are occasional days where I'm pretty optimistic.
Wow, that's exactly the way I am.
I've always been the paranoid one, anyways... _-_

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

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

This! :D

I'm an optimistic realist, as I always reply in these thread. I know things won't always work out for the best, and I'm prepared for the worst if need be, but damn if I don't hope it'll all be good anyway. I don't see the point in excessive pessimism. It's no fun.

The water in the glass was full until someone drank it while I wasn't looking.

Offbeat jokes aside, my glass is half empty, I guess. I'm not much of a pessimist though- 24/7 pessimists get on my nerves. I'm a cynic, though, but that's a bit different. : /

If I spend the day with my father, I'm seeing everything half full, he's a very negitive man.
If I'm with my mother, everything is half empty, she's to happy for me.
Yesh, I have issues.


"Omg! Is that blood on you'r wrist?!" Says a nosie kid.
"No! It's Red Ink." I reply.
"Sure it is," The nosie kid says and grabs my arm, "Looks like blood to me..."
I frown and walk away, it's not blood I tell myself, but who am I kidding...

Notta bump! :]]]

It depends. I'm a pessimistic optimist. I just roll with the punches and say "everything is going to be alright eventually" when something bad is happening, but I openly hate people and have what people would see as extremely pessimistic views. You know, "we're all going to die anyway," "why does it matter when we're going to die and not know," "I really do hate people. No really, I hate them," and "the only thing we HAVE to do is die." I'm a happy person with a real look on life. =]

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

I'm usually a happy-go-lucky (lol Family Guy) type of person and I tend to look on the brighter side of life. When something (or someone for that matter) gets me down, I'll just get back up.

Pptimistic person ftw. Also, I'd say the glass is half full because when someone's pouring a drink for someone they don't go "Make it half empty" do they?
