the only reason that i said im more pessimistic is that usually, a bad outcome is predicted. if i can see a positive outcome, ill try to root for it. but more often than not, itll be an incredibly bad outcome
i also think negative because if you hope for the worst, you cant be dissapointed.
if you think a dog will bite you, but it pisses on you instead, youll be damn happy. 🤣

More pessimistic than optimistic. like a 4:3 ratio.
Because things don't always turn out the way you want it to be.
More pessimistic . But in a way, it's kind of good for me, because whenever I think of a bad situation (or good) it never occurs. Like, whatever happens in my mind never happens in real life.
The only time I'm actually optimistic is after exams 😀
I try to be optimistic a lot of the time, but I'm not too good at it, I think I'm probably neither.

I'm a naive pessimist. Or possibly a jaded optimist.

Cause there are people that next to step back from all the negativity.
I am not optimistic or pessimistic, I'm realistic.
To explain my train of thought I'll use an example we all know:
Is the glass half full or half empty?
Answer:
If you filled a cup half way it's half full
If the cup was full and was emptied it's half empty
If you come across a cup that has just been sitting there you can assume it was full and then emptied but that's another story. 😀
I like to base my decisions and comments more on facts then emotions which usually gets me called a bitch. On the upside, when I say good things people know I'm sincere.

More optimistic than pessimistic. I look to the bright side and then say "at least I hope so..."

I'm more pessimistic than optimistic... Most of the time, I'm pessimistic but there are rare times where I'm very, very optimistic.
Edit: 50th post.. yay? I usually lurk more than post... so... 😐

I suppose I'm more pessimistic. Even my friends say so. They can't imagine me being optimistic and they shudder at the thought...0.o

I'm more optimistic. I expect generally good things to come of any day or adventure and when they don't I put a positive spin on it anyway. Optimism may not be as realistic as pessimism sometimes, but I'm a lot happier now than I was when I was pessimistic about everything.

I hear you say "Why?" Always "Why?" You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?"

An optimist, but not an idiot; rather than being unrealistic I just think more about positive things, and I expect life to go well until proven otherwise (of course I work hard to make life go well).
Hardcore realistic 🙂
