as a perso, dou you think you are an optimist person who always looks on the bright side of things, or are you a bit of a pessimist always looking at the glass half empty? I think there are pros and cons to ach of these, but personaly i think i am a realist, i have a bit of both sides which i think is al lot more realistic in our society today. What are your views? do you think its better to be a pessimist, realist or optimist and what are the pros and cons?

Think positive and positive things will happen. Think negative and negative things are bound to happen.

yes but one you are one or the other you are ingoring the things that you dont want to here which might and can creat more problems if you handle something wrong.

Well, I think it really depends on the situation. I am more of an optimist when it comes to work. I need to be positive to attract positive vibes but I'm both pessimistic and optimistic when it comes to dealing with life situations. Pessimist in the sense that I don't want to get so much hurt just in case what I'm hoping to happen would not occur. Optimist in the hope that everything would turn out the way I planned it to be. So I must say I'm just being realistic as you said you were.

and i guess thats a skill on its own, knowing how to use the both of both sides, wich is a good thing. But i think being a realist summs up your ideas because at the end, you are using both. I think i am a realist because i balance out the optimisim and the pissimisim in me.

I do not think anyone is totally one or the other. I am usually an optimist but if things are really going wrong and I am having a bad day I am more of a pessimist. I suppose really I am pessimistic about the state of the world in general but optimistic about my personal life.
