Neither. I’m an Optimist. 🙂 Sorry to be a S.N.

I’m not very optimistic about the spelling in your headline.

@rajiv, that is up to you to define. If you don’t think you are either an optimist or a pessimist, what are you then? If “something else” has no meaning to you, then you are unlikely to be “something else”.
Me, I am “something else”. (Since this topic is not relevant to my blog, I’ll post my thought here, perhaps to inspire someone else’s post…)
I don’t give a damn whether the glass is “half-full” or “half-empty”…. I believe in free refills!

Always have been a Optimist: Glass is always will be 1/2 filled.

I close every post with, May Your Glass Always Be Half Full, in bold letters.
Guess that says it all.
P.S. It comes from the heart.

I’m pretty positive that I’m a pessimist. I can be fairly positive towards other people because I want what’s best for them, but -‘ve never really been the “happy go lucky” type.

Hmm, another great and thought-provoking topic!
I’d probably say I’m a bit of both, veering towards optimist.

Realist. When you shovel animal muck most days, you’re way beyond both optimism and pessimism. It is what it is. There’s no point in hoping it will go away, because it won’t. There’s no point in grumbling about it being never ending, because it never does. Life’s the same. Just bend those knees, swing that shovel and keep dishing it out. Hmm, just like my blog, too. 😀

Interesting question which I thought about all morning as I was going about my business. The answer was right in front of me – otherwise I’d not be doing all this. Optimism rules!!!

Being a pessimist in a recession is a bit like being a diabetic and eating chocolate and wondering why you don’t feel good!
