Today's question is from @Evadig:

Are you a pessimist, an optimist, or somewhere in between?

I'd like to think I'm an optimist.

I try to be an optimistic, but usually whenever I get a good feeling about something, life kicks me between the legs, so generally I end up looking pessimistic through and through. My writing doesn't help either I guess with what all I make my characters go through

 

[Pampered chicken girl]

Depends highly on the situation. I'm both at times

 

[R2elk]

Realist

 

[nuthatched]

Realist. I lack the depression of a pessimist or the rosey glasses of an optimist.

 

[azurbanclucker]

Realist

This 100%

 

[fowltemptress]

Pessimist. And because I'm always expecting the worst, I'm frequently delighted by being proven wrong. And when I'm proven right, I was mentally prepared for it so it's easily overcome. I know plenty of optimists who fall to pieces when things don't work out, so I don't know that my outlook isn't the better recipe for happiness.

 

[notabitail]

In between.
