Do you consider yourself to be more of a pessimist or an optimist?

[ChiTown33]

Idealist turned realist. I believe being happy is a choice, so I choose happiness. But I'm not so positive that I'm going to just ignore the painfully obvious problems of life though. I just don't dwell on them. Why spend your life being miserable?

[Revvl6pro]

What an awesome answer. If life throws you lemons, you make lemonade. The governor of my state said to expect power outages. That was horrifying to me. How can we go without the Internet and TV? The motivational speaker, Tony Robbins, said that you can find something good in every situation. So if I was without the Internet and TV, I would pick up my guitar, again. I've been meaning to do that for a long time. So maybe it will take a power outage to make it happen.

Optimist. I even laughed once when I was working at a food processing company. One of the machines broke and i wad laughing hard at how the products were being destroyed i couldn't help it. The whole view was funny. How the mechanics were trying to short things out... Could not help it😹😹...

[Potteplante]

out of these two options I'm more a optimist than a pessimist. Life sucks sometimes but I always have hope for the future and try to look at the bright sides - if it be private or professional.

[SnowedIn]

I need glasses so I'm definitely not an optometrist.

But I'm not a pessimist.

Therefore, I'm naïve.

[Revvl6pro]

Well, that works too.

[ArrowheadSW]

I don't know any optometrists on a friendly level, although I do go to them to get my eyes checked and when I need new glasses... 😎

[Revvl6pro]

They seem good at that.

[TheSpaceGnome]

My glasses are empty because I don't wear any, does that make me a pessimist? A llamma? or a bowl of rice crispies?

[Revvl6pro]

Rice Crispies.

[TheSpaceGnome]

*crackles*

[TheSpaceGnome]

Hey wait... how did you change it from optometrist to optimist? I thought we couldn't edit question titles after posting? Did they finally add that feature?

[Revvl6pro]

I was wondering the same thing. I don't know who changed it.

[exitseven]

I used to be a pessimist but I had a good reason. Now I am just a pedestrian.

[Revvl6pro]

When I wrote this question, I wrote "optometrist" but auto-correct or something changed it. lol

It's a line from "Trailer Park Boys." It's the funniest TV series of all time.

Ricky screws up all of his words.

I can't do that, it's against my vice principals.
No need to apologize, it's all water under the fridge.
I have a plan where we can get two birds stoned at once.
It's all about supply and command.
I can fix that, it doesn't take rocket appliances to fix a car
Lucy, I need to know if the baby is mine. I think you should get an eternity test. https://www. youtube. com/watch? v=Jfq3c4Cf1Fs

hahahahha too funny

[ArrowheadSW]

@Revvl6pro I've got to look for some of those clips on You Tube! I've never heard of that show. Hilarious!

[Andres77]

Optomistrist. I only see the good in things

[Revvl6pro]

Awesome

[aoihewgf]

Definitely pessimist when viewing society as a whole. When considering individuals to do something, it's dependent on my level of respect. For myself, it's slightly optimist

[Being_a_good_Indian]

Optimists believe in the power of positive thinking. They are always happy and see the glass as half full. Pessimists, on the other hand, always see the glass as half empty. Realists are a mix of both optimists and pessimists.

[jamesgoldman]

I'm a realist

If it's up, it's up
If it's down it's down
If it's only halfway up, it's neither up nor down

[Reece12345]

A realist? Maybe that's more of a "pessimist" these days?

[Berethor]

Mostly pessimist, bad things are much more likely to happen than good things.

[DesiUwU]

i'm a realist, leaning on the side of pessimist

[FilmGuy93]

Mmhhh... more of an optimist than a pessimist...

[DancingQueen16]

I'm an optimist because I'm really happy all the time

[Adam1978]

Realist, I see the problem I will face and if I don't have a solid plan, I simply focus elsewhere. I don't enjoy wasting my resources on futility.

[Chazmatazz269]

I’m a natural pessimist, but i’ve gotten very good at seeing beyond it and keeping a balanced attitude.

[Sasahara]

Both in equal measures. I'm optimist about some things and a pessimist about others.

[Catarine]

I consider myself to be an optimist. I always wsnt to look at things on the good side

[DryGermanGuy]

I used to be an optimist. Now I am not so sure anymore… 🤷‍♂️

[Dargil]

I am a realist. I see things as they are, not what I wish them to be.

[Guy13]

Pessimistically Optimistic

[Revvl6pro]

So you're kind of ambidextrous?

[Guy13]

You mean ambiguous, right?

[Revvl6pro]

Yes. auto correction sucks.

[Guy13]

I am ambidextrously Ambiguous too. Look Mom, both hands and corners of mouth simultaneously. Think I’ll make the Olympic team, Dad?

[Rangers]

A realist, I know that life with joy is and always will be nothing but a fantasy for me and I might as well end it
