Neither.

It's "Who the heck has been drinking out of my cup."

But, seriously, I do see it as neither and both at the same time. It can't be half empty because it's half full. Yet, it can't be half full because it's half empty.

I guess that would mean I'm pessimistic and opptomistic?

I don't see the glass as half-full or half-empty. I'd just say "Hey! Who drank out of my cup?" XD

But, being more serious, I'd say it depends on my mood, the time of day, the situation, the stress level, etc. But still, as I said in my first sentence, I'm pretty much neither optimistic or pessimistic. Or maybe I'm a pessimistic optimist or an optimistic pessimist. I don't know.

'Depends on the day', got my vote.

But 'half full' has always sounded weird to me, so for most of my life I've always said half empty, if I've had to say either at all. :/

More than the day, it depends on how long it has been since I last ate something. When my blood sugar is high, I'm very optimistic and happy, so most of the time the glass is half full. If I haven't eated in a while, I become very pessimistic and lose my sense of humour.

Also, it depends on what the glass contains. ;)

Well, recently my attitude at life changed. I used to be extremely pessimistic about everything and that took it's toll on my self-esteem and life as a whole.
But then I started to become an optimist, due to the fact I got sick of being miserable half of the time.

So; half-full, definitely. :D

For me it weighs heavily on the type of day and my mood that day. If its cool, bright and partly sunny, or cloudy and breezy, I tend to feel more towards the optimistic side, whereas if its rainy or fully sunny and hot, I tend to feel more pessimistic.
