Optimist or Pessimist?

Which one are you?

I would love to say I am an optimist...but sadly, it is not to be

I find myself always thinking of the worst case scenarios, so that I can prepare myself if they happen. I am forever worried about things going wrong.

I reallt try to have a more positive outlook though

What are you guys?

I prepare for the worst and when it doesn't turn out that way I'm presently surprised.

How's that for an outlook on life?

I'm pessimistic (sp?) also! Thinking of the worse case scenarios helps make bad news less shocking and good news more joyful!

I'm more wishy washy. Half the time I'm optimistic and half pestimistic. I think it depends on the issue.

I prefer to think of myself as a realist.

I'm a 100% optimist!

As a parent, I try to think of the worst possible scenarios (and avoid them) but that doesn't make me a pessimist because I don't believe they will always happen.

I am very pessimistic... Not that I am proud of that, but I always see the bad before the good... If I even see the good at all!

I'm 100% sarcastic. Oh wait that wasn't one of the choices

I guess you could say I'm pessimistic. I do see a half full glass, but it depends on if someone has already drank out of it.

I am a cockeyed optimist.

I plan for the worst and hope for the best.

It depends on the situation, so I guess that just makes me wishy washy. To be honest I'm more of a pessimist.

I'd have to say an optimist, bad things just keep happeneing, but I know it can't stay bad forever....I hope

I'm such an optimist that I trust that the best will happen, and even if it doesn't, I'm absolutely certain that it will still be okay, because while there's life, there's hope.

I haven't even accepted death; I'm sure they'll come up with a cure for it any day now.

i'm an optimist but ben's a pessimist so we balance each other well

That pretty much describes me, too.

Me too! I think I may be a bit more optimistic in the end, but I try to be 'real' too.

i'm an optimist, DH is a pessimist......he calls himself a REALIST

which might be a bit true......

I'm a bit of both really?

I call myself a pessimistic optimist.

On the look out for the worst but deep inside, I know there is good stuff out there. I try to see not just the bad, ugly stuff but all the beauty and good things as well.
