Are you realistic, pessimistic, or optimistic (obviously we are a bit of all of them but I am talking about MOST of the time)?

I consider myself to be optimistic most of the time... There are my days though where I am the biggest pessimist ever!

I would say "realistic", but my wife says "negative". It is not so much pessimistic, just negative about a lot of the things going on in the world and our country right now.

I am mostly a realistic person. I have my moments that I am pessimistic but I try hard to be optimistic.

I used to be quite pessimistic but have moved into being pretty optimistic. I will say, however, that I consider myself a realist in that i try to point out the good side to everything while at the same time calling something for what it is....sometimes that's calling things sh*t.

I am a realistic optimist - so I put mostly realistic. I try to think the best and hope for the best, but realistically know how life often goes is not even close to how we want or plan.

People tell me I'm ridiculously optimistic. I constantly always tell myself no matter what it will work out. I have this idea in my head that if I keep positive everything around me will turn out positive as well. So far I think it's worked out pretty well!

Definitely optimistic until there is no other option, then realistic and a problem solver.

I am naturally a pessimist working on being a realist. I don't like pessimism and dislike optimism even more.

I argue that I'm a realist, though my friends and family say that I'm just way too pessimistic. Lately I've been getting better at seeing things from a more optimistic point of view, so I hope I can keep that up.

I aim for realistic, though I am, at times, both optimistic and pessimistic (though not at the same time, obviously).

I love the "mostly realistic" choice. I'm pretty optimistic but in some manners I can be pessimistic and when people call me cynical on those subjects I just respond. "I'm just being realistic."

Husband tells me I am negative, I think he is way to positive! I am true about everything, life is good and bad. From my experience bad usually happens, that is just my life. I am use to it!

I've gotten realistic with things. I look at both the negative and the positive and make a decision on things that way.
