Are you typically an optimistic person? Pessimistic? Why?

I am sometimes so optimistic it drives people nuts. I don't really get angry usually, I think of positive ways to solve the problem. I don't like complaining unless you have a plan to fix it.

Since I just went through a midlife crisis. I'd say my life is half over or half empty. I'm not at good at anything I once was. Only my typing has improved. My eyes are failing. My legs hurt. I'm missing some of my hair. You get the picture. But I'm still an optimist at heart. =)\n.

Yes, I did. And I am. I think this way of thinking involves both negative and positive minds. If you are an optimist you think that you are unique in a kind of way. But if you are a pessimist you would think of the opposite.

50% sure about myself.Why you ask because there is so much wrong with me(I think.See!)that sometimes I get depressed but then my friends cheer me up so then I feel great.So it's a 50/50 thing.

Being an optimist is great.  The world is a much better place, you arent miserable because the world sucks AND people like to hang around you because you're not depressive...\n\nThe two cons i can think of is that you're a prime target for scams, and you get much more disappointed when something does go bad because you had higher hopes.

Pessimism is not healthy for anyone.\n\nPessimistic = Mostly Negative outlook (Watching todays news can also cause this!)\nOptimistic = Mostly Positive outlook\n\nYour first problem is that you need to realize that movies are just that, movies.  They are NOT real.\n\nYou need to change your lifestyle into something that makes you a lot happier!\n\nMy preference would be going to Church and finding your higher power.   Every time I go, I come out feeling like a million bucks and that nothing can get me down!\n\nEther way, get ALL negativity out of your life as much as you can and start looking for the positive aspects of it.   \n\nClassical Music is also good.

Well i am happy, and not because some material things make me feel like i do exist or something. My happines comes from within. I understand my limitations, and with that in hand i know that my achievments through life are the reflection of someone who always gives the best of himself.\n\nknowing i do my best everyday makes me happy. What makes you happy?\n\nfind some indicator for evaluating your life. might be how many friends do you have, or how many people have you helped... or how many material things you have! The important thing is that everyone can measure their own happines by setting reasonable indicators. What are yours? what's your happines based on?

I havedn't been optimistic yet. Failure disheartens ppl to a scary degree with a sense of helplessness. You have to decide how far you are willing to go to get to where you need to be.

I will usually play devil's advocate if I see someone being blindly optimistic, even if I actually happen to agree with the point of view.\nI don't consider it a NEED to be negative but, a need to be objective.\nBlind optimism is just as bad as blind pessimism, and I'll argue a point either way if I feel the proposed idea isn't thouroughly represented in both the pro and the con.

I think that all people have ups and downs. I don't think anyone can be happy all the time. I would be happy to just try and stop worrying so much.

You are an illogical pessimist aren't you?

Yes I do. However, I also believe that alot of luck is built on what you do have control over. Your actions. Positivity breeds positivity, negativity breeds negativity, etc. An open mind will be more prone to good luck, and conversely, will handle bad luck in the best possible way.

No... Im a geek, I chose to be "not-awesome" from a worldly standpoint from the beginning, but I love myself and the people around me regardless of that decision.\n\nEDIT: And by the way, I was having a crappy day and this cheered me up. You certainly know how to make people happy!

I´ve been told I´m a pessimist, but I like to think of myself more as an exhibistionist. Thanks for asking.

I wish people would be happy as much as i expect but no they aren't. It is kinda like we are living in a whining world. Everybody wants more and more, even though they have everything they want, i think they still are gonna be unhappy. Kinda nature of people. It is not that only pessimism or greediness something more deep hard to explain. Because if they have been cured they still gonna crave for something. Sometimes drives you to live, and sometimes makes you blow up.

You're friendly, easily adaptable and communicative. I\n\nPredicting your future: Can't do, but I will say that I think you are insecure and are quite lazy sometimes. On the upside, you are generous and try to be optimistic however wind up feeling sad sometimes.\nHow did I do?\n\nActually, that is what I feel like you are. I am kind of psyhic...but you already knew that. lol

Hmmm.  I get caught up in "one day when..." thinking sometimes, so I try to be positive about now.  I look forward to today.
