    How do you tell if your an optimist or a pessimist? What is pessimism and optimism? Why am I asking you? At 11:50? When I have 4 paragraphs to write?

    an optomistic is someone who looks at the world with a positive way. a pessimistic, is someone who looks at the world in a negative way

    in a positive way, you are always thinking and hoping for the best.

    lets say your favorite football team is the dallas cowboys. although they may loose many of their games and may never get to the superbowl, you are always cheering them on and hoping that they will win.

    in a negative way, you would always expect the worst, and always think that nothing good will ever come.

    it's not so bad as a pessimist

    somewhere betwixt, but probably seen as leaning towards pessimist

    I had to deal with a lot of things growing up, and I'm a bit pessemistic.

    I've always said kinda jokingly, keep your expectations low enough, nobody will care when you fail.

    I'm trying to get over it though. I don't think I'll ever realise my potential unless I have more faith in myself and other people.

    I'm hoping to grow a lot as a person. I still have a long way to go.

    But I do have a rather large... wait, nevermind. Inappropriate. [​IMG]

    A realistic person says the glass is half full if it started out empty, and it's half empty if it started out full.

    I'd say a realistic person doesn't worry about it, and consumes their daily calcium needs.

    Does a body good. Just like me baby. [​IMG]
