Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Maybe I'm not an optimist or pessimist. Sometimes I'm full of confidence. Sometimes I'm disappoited about myself.

I try not to be a pessimist. Life is just like a mirror of your feeling. I have faith in myself and in life. I sometimes feel sad but cheers up after a while. Sadness won't help me living a happy life. All in all, I'm an optimist.

I am both, and but most of the times I more pessimistic than optimist. But I can be optimistic when everybody is pessimistic. But I read that its not good to be pessimistic, so I need to learn to be optimistic all the time. It ahrd, but it good.

I do understand what you mean. I am currently in your situation. I like to be a very optimist person especially to others. many people who know me have such an optimistic opinion about me and im very glad cause it makes me act positively but then i think about certain things and i get discoraged again and i dont know why. So many people and friends that believe in me and for a small thing i get discouraged while others are continuously encouraging me all the time because they have faith in me. I sort of dont have faith in myself i think.

I tend to be an optimist but there are times that I become a pessimist when I'm distressed and down. I think it's normal for a person to be like that sometimes since nobody is perfect and we all change our moods often.

I would like to think of myself as someone who can face any kind of adversity or triumph. Like yourself, I am sometimes up and sometimes down.

I try to be an optimist, but find myself in recent times, I have been more pessimist. I wish it was the other way around.
