IM ON THE ROAD ON THE ROAD TO VIRIDIAN CITYYYY~
Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
Is the situation going to get any better or can it get any worse?
etc.
 
Re: Are you generally pessimistic or optimistic.

I always thought of myself as an optimist until one of my friends told me, "Um, no, Rachel, you're definitely a pessimist."

So I'm a pessimist.
 
I sort of call myself a realistic optimist.

I'm a guy that says it's gonna be better, but not by much.
 
I'm pretty much an optimist, except sometimes with things I'm dreading - I think they'll be much worse than they are and I guess they'll be better than I'm assuming they'll be, but I assume it anyway because then I'll feel better about them. :3 But yeah, I like being optimistic.
 
I'm a pessimist Mostly because I take life realistically and when you look at mine thats what it is.
 
I lean towards optimistic tendencies--I understand every person will have struggle in their lives, but there is cause to hope and dream.
 
NAIVE OPTIMISM!

But yeah I generally approve of seeing the bright side of things!
 
Optimist! I get annoyed when others are too pessimistic, even though being pessimistic is probably better since you'll get disappointed less,

I'm still pretty realistic though, I wouldn't call myself an idealistic optimist. I think looking for good and hope makes for a healthier mind, whoo~!
 
Life is full of wankers, who worship a wankgod and are controlled by a wankgovernment who make you pay for wanking. Life sucks. and wanks.

So i'm.... pessimistic?
 
i like to think of myself as an optimist. most probably see me the other way around. i tend to react more realistically in most situations; realistic optimism is a reasonable tag.
 
Both, but since it shows more, I voted pessimistic. I was looking forward to challenging team LoveSong too D:
 
I think this poll will end up about 65/35. I don't really know, I used to be very optimistic until I got let down all the time, then I just turned into a pessimist so that I never looked forward to anything, (therefore I couldn't be let down).

It's about even for me now, but i'd still go with pessimistic.
 
I'd say I lean more towards optimism than pessimism, although I can be both depending on my mood. I strive, though, to be neither... I'd rather look at the situation realistically than optimistically or pessimistically.
