Do you consider yourself optimistic or pessimistic?
I tend to more of a pessimist....but am trying to change that a bit.

Oh, definitely optimistic. Some folks have criticized me for it in the past for being overly optimistic. But I've also learned that I tend to plan (some will say over-plan) for all the bad things that could happen. Then when everything works out well, I'm happy. I'm optimistic that all will be well, thanks to my planning!

I like to think of myself as optimistic; however, I think my upbringing & my family make me lean my thoughts towards pessimism. I try to consciously stay optimistic.

I'm a pessimist - I think I was programmed to be - and even tghough I try to cheer everybody else on - I don't feel optimistic about alot of things - I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I do have a good sense of humor!

I'm definitely an optimist - there's always a light at the end of the tunnel

I am optimistic for others, but pessimistic when thinking about myself/my life.

I like to consider myself realistic! LOL I think I fall in the middle of the road between pessimistic and optimistic.

Just the opposite... I'm a pessimist married to an optimist. I'm always thinking of the worst case scenario and my hubby never thinks anything bad will happen. He says I worry way too much about things out of my control.
