    (Sorry for the title.)

    Are you a pessimist? An optimist? A bit of both?

    Honestly, I'm usually a pessimist. I underestimate my potential and sometimes I ponder my existence, asking myself, "Why am I?" Sometimes I also have suicidal thoughts.
     
    When it comes to myself I'm typically pessimistic but when it comes to others I'm optimistic. I really do try to "talk" better to myself and of myself. It's been a hard habit to break, but I think I've made good progress. I try now to just be realistic but remind myself of the positive
     
    I'm a huge pessimist so that I'll be pleasantly surprised when anything happens lol
     
    I like to think I take the "there's liquid in the cup" approach, so I'd describe myself as a realist. I do have psychological issues that would in general push me towards more negative thoughts, but in general I think that the reason I come off as negative in my observations is because the world has become a very negative place.

    I used to be a pessimist but lately I have been very positive about things. I tried very hard to change the way I approach everything and I quickly realized that it's much more healthy to remain optimistic about things.
     
    I would also say that I'm a realist. Just seems more me, tbh. I always have what people would describe as a full mix of pessimism and optimism, but really I just state what's the most likely in said situation or whatever — not the negative or positive likelihood. I've never been able to view myself or situations any other way, going on intuition + what I know or have observed. So realist here, yup yup.
     
    As far as I can remember I've always been a pessimist. I'm the one who has to be the contrarian, who has to point out how things can go wrong and where the flaws are. I'm not all doom and gloom about it, but I just keep my expectations low.
     
    I'm positive! One of my mottos in life is "don't stare yourself blind at the problem, see the possible solutions!" I try to apply that in everyday life, at work when I'm doing scientific experiments, as well as here on PC when I'm being a forum staffer and roleplayer.
     
    The state of the glass depends on the state that it was in before. If the amount of liquid has increased since the last state, it's half full. If it has decreased, then it's half empty. If there's no way to tell whether the last state held more or less liquid, it can only mean one thing: the glass is broken.

    So yeah, I think the glass is broken, which would put me into...what category? Dunno, therefore, it must mean that I'm broken as well.

    But I suppose, we could say that I'm somewhere between realist and pessimist.
