Are You An Optimist or Pessimist?
For years I could only see a bad side of a situation and I always expected the worst. And of course when you expect the worst that is exactly what you will get. I have worked hard on changing my attitude, but I still can’t say that I am an optimist even though I would like to be one.
When I took the “Are you an optimist or pessimist” test I wasn’t surprised to see the results. At least I am not a pessimist anymore.
You Are a Realist
You don’t see the glass as half empty or half full. You see what’s exactly in the glass.
You never try to make a bad situation seem better than it is…
But you also never sabotage any good things you have going on.
You are brutally honest in your assessments of situations - and this always seems to help you cope.

Hehe here’s another one I’m not going to do the test… just offer what I think. I think I’m a realist too… it’s the only way to be - I think. You don’t get heavily disappointed too often but you’re still always happy. At least I am

I too am a realist. Thanks for the link to this. I may use it on my blog as well.

Depends entirely on the situation. Sometimes I’m a pessimist - it’s easiest to see a situation in it’s worst light because the outcome can only be better but most of the time I think I’m an optimist, seeing the best in everything and everyone.
My glass is always half full.

Wow, we’re VERY similar… I’m too realistic for my own good.

Yup…I’m a realist too-I guess that’s pretty accurate!

I am an optimist, I am the kind of guy that will walk into the office on a Monday morning and say “Chin up guys only 4 and a half days till the weekend!!!” people hate it when I do that HAHAHA.
