Would you consider yourself an optimist, pessimist, or realist?

[gnarlyyy]

optimist

pessimist

realist

[Wolframium]

I am realist. I see matter as an empty space and the interaction done thanks to repeling forces in EM field (electrons in atoms).
And I tend to look on reality as it is. And…it's kind of shitty. Thinks in nature are designed to kill you, you wouldn't survive anywhere in the unverse, you'll…you know…die, so…that's kind of sucks.
Some might say, that there are plenty of nice things too. Sure, they are. Like tech, sleep, and so on. But…what do I do wit them? I'm glad they are here, but when I want to actually do something, I need some problem to solve. For example, how to design architecture of my app. I have no clue! And that's why I'm trying to force myself to work on that. You solve problems, you eliminating bad things: and for that, you need to see them. Be deep in them. To bring better, you must enter the worst.

[Prof_Don]

Optimist. Positive thoughts, positive vibes, positive actions, positive results.

Of course there will be adversity , but with the above , I believe that I will overcome the inevitable adversity.

Realist doesn't have to be separate from optimistic/pessimistic

[montey]

I am a realist in life, my views, and everything in between.
Most people are babies and cannot handle such honesty.
I always prefer realism because it will help that person know how to improve, regardless if they can "handle it" or not,

[splashofyellow]

It really depends on my mood but I'm never a realist. I'm either extremely pessimistic or the complete opposite.

[SarahsSummer]

Optimist.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

I wouldn't say I'm one or the other fully. I'd say most people are a combination of all 3 depending on their current mood and situation. I'd say I'm in the middle of the optimist and realist glasses

[bingbaddaboom]

Realist. We innately seek conflict and realism allows a person to be aptly prepared when it arises. Positive and negative thoughts can turn into wild expectation or self-fulfilling prophesy in their own respects.

[normalice]

i would probably call myself a 'neutralist'. I tend to look on the bright side when things are going badly, and contemplate the worst that could happen when things are going well.

[anglca__]

In making decisions I would say a combination of realist and optimist. I would always calculate things but wouldn't also give up without giving a fight especially if I really want something. q

[Being_a_good_Indian]

Realistic. Every person and thing has positive as well as negative sides. We have to take decisions keeping in mind both the sides keeping in mind our objectives.

[Pathora]

pessimist cuz I'm lazy and don't wanna do things :P

[PlsWork]

A realist, definitely. If I can't find a solution with logical thinking though, I try to turn to positive thinking, but I do not always succeed.

[blackdog27]

I like to think positively, but some things aren't meant to be positive. You need to be realistic with yourself and embrace the following emotions.

[Cody01]

A mixture depending on how I feel and what I am talking about.

[VladSparr]

It depends, was the glass last added to or last taken away from?

But yeah I'm a realist lol.

[MarcoIsAFailure]

wow. That's actually a very good way to look at the glass question.

I always claimed, that "half empty" is the more sensible way to look at it, because it's half way to where you have to refill.
But you are right, when filling a glass... it does make more sense the other way round.

I'm gonna steal that from you.

[MarcoIsAFailure]

I don't get the question. Where's the difference between pessimist and realist? :-P

[Robsinsf53]

I'm a realist who tries to remain optimistic against increasingly tougher odds. I just look around and its tough.

[Megalyssa]

When you are drinking glass is half empty. When you are putting water in - the glasd is half full.

[happyhippo]

I think I'm a realist, but all my friends describe me as an optimist, so I guess something in between.

[Psychlopic]

A pessimist, because then I'm always pleasantly surprised.

But for real, it depends a lot. Sometimes I'm optimistic, sometimes pessimistic. It's a about context.

[Sara0607]

Optimist! 😊😍❤ Always be happy and look on the bright side.. no use of fretting over the issues you can't change so better accept it and choose to smile!😊

[AlexBlack007]

Somehow, I always find myself being positive in even the worst situations of events. Somehow 😅.

[MiraPeace]

optimistic realist, sometimes a pessimist depending on the situation. See I can't choose one. LOL

[Universum]

I voted realist but I am leaning more to the optimistic side

[Bleh-___-]

I used to be a pessimist but I'd say neither now (or realist).

[NespaDon]

Life sucks but not enough that I seek a reason not to face it :p

[GeorgeDubyaKUSH]

I like to call myself a realist, but I'm probably a pessimist.

[Reddr]

Opportunistic realist. I call shit as I see it and I turn it into something good for myself.

[Ozanne]

Realist for the most part, with pessimistic tendencies. And I say that with the utmost optimism. :)

[layla1234]

realist all the way! i live life day by day. No time for lala land!

[hahahmm]

Looking at the cartoon, all three are right. I'm an optimist

[azzntittiz]

Realist always, and it's been working for me. What you don't know can kill you.

[Justinaveragedude]

I am optimist, the urine sample cup is half full, and it is urine. And "I don't have to drink my own, but I do because it's sterile and I like the taste."

[Browneye57]

A realist.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Trust but verify.
Make it do or do without.
And no, I'm not going to do it for you.

:)

[pooper89]

I'm a realist but most would consider that to be pessimism

[anthesis]

nihilist in the streets, existentialist in the sheets

[DanoMR98]

There are only two. "Realists" are just pseudo-intellectual edgelords.

[Phoenix98]

I have a healthy dose of cynicism with a touch of optimism and realism.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Realist-a person who accepts a situation as it is and is prepared to deal with it accordingly.

[AlwaysBelieving]

More optimist. I tend to put a positive spin on everything. To the point where I annoy myself at times... LOL

[blondfrog]

Realist but there are days where I am pessimistic and days I am optimistic. It all depends what mood I am in to be honest.

[Smegskull]

if I can imagine a solution I am an optimist if not I'm a pessimist.

[Partywithtom]

Being a Realist I can almost guarantee no way that 67% of people are realists. most are pessimists

[Anonymous]

Depends on my mood. Sometimes I'm overly idealistic, other times I think the worst of everything. Then I use realism to as a tool to filter my optimist/pessimist thoughts.

[peace123]

I think I wana be a optimist n a realist at the same time not one or the other

[baby181036]

My motto in life is-Always think positive&be happy& at the same time a realist

[Nandor]

Its half full if u are filling it and its half empty if you are drinking it

[WiseTurtle]

Kind of 3 of them but mainly realistic lol

[GoldenGraze]

Im a mix between pessimist and optimist depending on my mood
