Pessimist.I'm working on it, though.

Optimistic. With God in my life, how can I not be.

Bob Luken

I'm not sure. I guess a little of both.

I am pessimistic, I don't know if this is by nature or due to the life I have lived, it dosen't matter they were my choices. What does matter is that today I am aware of it and trying change my outlook on life and people in general, this is not an easy thing to do at my age. It really sucks when you realize that a lot of your core beliefs were wrong, oh well at least I get too start over.

I remember when I used to be optimistic.

Hmm...I have a tendency to expect and prepare for the worst, while hoping for the best. Not sure where I fall out on this.

Love the question in this thread. I think most people who know me would call me a pessimist. I would say I lean toward it, but ever so slightly. What I think is that I am a realist, and often pessimism comes from being real-------or perhaps that is just the point of view at what a person is looking at? Thoughts?

Vulchor

I would asdk the same to Bobbo or to others to comment. While we both may be pessismists Bob....is that really pessimism you are referring to or is it the honest realization within yourself that things will go bad in some way in a lot of areas and you understand and accept it as inevitable?

blutattoo

Definitely more optimistic than pessimistic. Guess I'm just lucky like that.

I suppose you could call me an optimist. I prefer the best possible outcome but accept the fact that life doesn't always give you what you want so I've learned to roll with the punches and make due with the cards that I'm dealt.

I'm a realist, but to put a label on it, pessimist. Pessimists aren't suprised, are usually ready for anything, tend not be naive and expecting the worst you can prepare for it and in those preparations the best usually happens. Being a pessimist keeps me honest and ready. That may not make sense but it works for me, strangely I'm a rather happy person.

Vulchor

This is me, or about what I was trying to say Jet, I think its a good way to be. I always feel the people who are overly optomistic do not have a real outlook on things and can be easily taken advantage of or swayed to feel one way or another based on whims and positivity instead of realizing "life is brutish and short"

I'm sure I appear to be a pessimist. But, in reality, I'm an optimist who's been disappointed far too often and has learned to protect myself. Optimist.

I would say honest realization that crap goes bad a lot of the time. I truly hope for the best, but knowing that it usually doesn't turn out that way I prepare myself for the worst.
