I do not bother with those labels because I am too busy being the reason everything works out. People told me that trying to stop a runaway train by parking my bicycle on the tracks was a bad idea, but I showed them. I figured the bike would act like a wedge, and instead of stopping the train, it just made the train veer off into a giant pile of marshmallows that were being delivered to a local bakery. Everyone was safe, the train driver got a free snack, and I walked away with only a slightly bent rim.
Another time, I saw a building on fire and thought the best way to put it out was to dump my entire collection of exotic fish tanks through the second-story window. It turns out the water pressure was not quite enough to douse the flames, but the flying glass and startled goldfish caused such a massive distraction that the firefighters were able to get inside without any trouble. They said I destroyed the interior, but I prefer to think I provided a chaotic environment that forced them to be more efficient. I live for these moments where common sense would fail, but my lack of it saves the entire neighborhood.

Iβm a positive optimistic. Yes things happen in life where I get stressed out, but I hang in there and I have hope. Thereβs always a light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm a realist but that generally airs on the pessimistic side

I prefer to think of myself as a realist. I'm not a doe eyed optimist. But i don't consider myself an pessimist. I just accept the world for what it is with all it evil and harshness.

I don't think I'm either. I'm realistic, but guessing if something is going to go right or wrong doesn't matter as much as actually preparing for it.
I'm a realist, with occasional attacks of optimism. 😐
more on the positive/proactive side, for sure...
I'm not ducky

Iβm a pessimist when dealing with stupid people or on the topic of stupid actions from individuals where I have no control over it.
I'm a glass half empty kind of girl.
Why?
No clue, always has been like this. I guess it gives you less negative surprises.
No cus I feel the same way. I feel like if I expect the worst then Iβm prepared for it. And if it isnβt that bad then itβs better. I don't know.
Cynic, and I'm very often right
Ok. Not gonna lie, I had to look that up. ππ ok so why?
Life experience. Most people have hidden motives to do what they do, and it's usually self serving and detrimental
Oh..
Yeap. But you're too genuine to be like that
Oh good. Cus I was wondering if you thought that about me but I was ascared to ask. Thank you. β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Anytime beautiful. You're one of the few I know isn't like that
