I see the glass:

Are you an optimist or pessimist?

[Bulbasaur]

Pessimist. 100%. I am a huge perfectionist with bad anxiety. XD

Totes Pessimistic

[Ebail]

I like to call myself a realist because I look at things the way they are and how they will be. Generally people in turn call me pessimistic because of that so I say I'm a pessimist

[Neo Emolga]

Half full. Optimist. Rather than brood about how the glass is half empty, think about ways to fill it up!

Usually things aren't quite as bad as they seem. As an optimist, when things look a bit sour, I think of ways to try and improvise. Chance of mistakes? No big deal. Usually things can be fixed and if not, work with them. A little faith can go a long way.

And if things just don't work out, ah, keep moving along and just say it is what it is and life goes on. There will be better days with new opportunities ahead. Just because one door closed shut doesn't mean there's no other way around. Sometimes what didn't work today can work out tomorrow instead.

Depends on my mood really. Generally I like to be an optimist, it makes life a lot more fun and enjoyable! But when I'm depressed or worried about something I become very VERY pessimistic. Back when I was in high school, my early years, if I made so much as a B on a test I immediately would start bawling because I was worried about how badly my mother was going to beat me for it. Realistically that never happened but I was so terrified I just thought like that.

It also depends on the day for me. I tend to be an optimist, but sometimes I'm a pessimist. I like to see the good in things, though, especially when it comes to keeping other people hopeful.

[Wookie Mistake]

uhmm I guess an optimist, I'm always looking for the positive of any situation, but I also try my best to prepare for the worst. so maybe a pessimist...huh, can I phone a friend?

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Hmm. I am pretty much an optimist I guess. Most of the time, anyway. Unless I get really stressed and then I become a mega pessimist. That only really happens if I'm really nervous about something though, like medical stuff or public speaking. xD

Sometimes I am also a fake optimist because I don't want people to worry. So I'm always telling everyone that everything's going to be okay even if I don't necessarily believe that. I just figure there's no point worrying cos it won't change anything.
