Given the choices, I have to say, an optimist. I'm also a realist.

 

[MadDuner]

I'm an optimist with a dim view of reality....

I've been on the planet too long to expect very much good from my fellow inhabitants.
But occasionally somebody will surprise me in a good way!

I am a realist with a dose of optimism and a dash of pessimism mixed in. It totally depends on what we are talking about.

 

[Joe Link]

I'm optimistic to a fault

Optimist, I even cut the bulls-eye out of my targets....

 

[ZoidMeister]

I for one, am a diehard pessimist. I see no upside to being an optimist . . . . . .

Think about it for a moment . . . . . . .

In the optimist's world, the BEST that can happen is that his expectations are met . . . . . everything else is a disappointment.

In the pessimist's world, the WORST that can happen is that his expectations are met . . . . everything else is a pleasant surprise . . . . .

Deep thoughts from the mind of Zoid . . . . . . . .

Pessimist. My entire life has been one I'd never wish on most other people. I do, however, have certain individuals upon whom I'd love to have my life fall, forever destroying their hopes and dreams...
