Are you a Pessimist, or an Optimist?

[Disgustipated]

It's not that I can't dance. I do think I can dance, it's other people that call my movements not dancing and laugh at me. It's the others that are pessimists, not me. Who are other people to say what dancing is?

 

[Supr49er]

Optimist

 

[Artifis]

I hope for the best but prepare for the worst, which makes me an optimist with a pessimistic edge.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Optimists are very annoying.
"It's not that you can't dance, it's just that you have the mentality that you think you can't dance!"

But the pessimist who gives up on learning to dance is even more annoying.

 

[Mechanicalsalvation]

I just made up this- so I hope it make sense:

Pesimist is an optimist who hopes for the worst.
Optimist is a pesimist who knows that things can alwas get worse.

Hold on... Pessimists HOPE for the worst? Does anybody ever hope for the worst?

 

[EnglishCrusader]

Most of the time I'm actually a realist - I see things for what they are, but I'm pretty optimistic for some things.

 

[strijder20]

I'm generally pessimistic, but that's just because the world is generally bad.
I do see the good in good things, though.

The Optimist sees the glass as half full.

The Pessimist sees it as half empty.

Skwink asks for a refill.

I see the glass as twice as big as it needs to be.

 

[classical_hero]

The glass is at 50% capacity.

You're an engineer.

 

[jtb1127]

I'm a pessimistic optimist.

 

[Mechanicalsalvation]

yeah strangely there is such kind of person - a pessimist or somebody who feels that has nothing to loose...

but you are right, instead hopes there should be sees

 

[azzaman333]

I generally assume the worst will happen, because every time I don't I tend to be disappointed with the result.

 

[EnglishCrusader]

The Optimist sees the glass as half full.

The Pessimist sees it as half empty.

Skwink asks for a refill.

What am I if I think that the glass is half full when it has gone from empty to half, and it is half empty when it has gone from full to half?

 

[NickyJ]

What am I if I think that the glass is half full when it has gone from empty to half, and it is half empty when it has gone from full to half?

Then you're someone who over-analyzes things.

A smartass?

depending on what is the glass filled with you are more or less lucky optimist

, and it is half empty when it has gone from full to half?

you are looser just like all the other pesimists

 

[EnglishCrusader]

Then you're someone who over-analyzes things.

Well that's what I always have said, even when I hadn't thought about it.

A smartass?

Probably.

depending on what is the glass filled with you are more or less lucky optimist

you are looser just like all the other pesimists

So I'm both?

 

[Mechanicalsalvation]

So I'm both?

no I wouldnt be that optimistic...

 

[EnglishCrusader]

...not only that but if you can make glass half-filled by adding substance when it is empty and substracting from it when its full in the same time you are also supersmartass supergenius.

But I'm not doing it at the same time, am I?
