are you...

[emmasmommy]

a pessimist or an optimist?
i realize there's a grey area there, but on average, which are you?

[Darcy Baldwin]

I lean pessimist. I'm married to a card-carrying, completely out optimist

I lean towards being an optimist. My husband is a pessimist. It makes life interesting, that's for sure.

[emmasmommy]

i'm defiantly a pessimist. we call my mother negative nelly...for a good reason. i promised myself as a child i wouldn't be like that, but damn it, i can't seem to change it for the life of me!

Day to day I'm pretty optimist... but if something goes south, I believe the worst thing possible has happened!! My hubby - total optimist - drives me nuts! And really ironic since his WHOLE family are pessimists (no gray area with them!)

This is my hubby! His mom holds the crown for the most negative person I know. I on the other hand, am an optimist. I believe the best in people or the situation. (for the most part)

I'm the optimist at our house - dh is a hard core pessimist.

both my husband and i are optimists - although we are realistic too - e.g., when something bad happens, we totally accept it and look at the bright side of whatever it is and just roll with it ...

I used to be a full fledged rainbows and butterflies optimist, but more and more I find myself leaning to the pessimist side.

[mummytothree]

I definitely lean way towards the pessimist side...I always think the worst and plan for the worst!! I think I do this because I think when the bad things happen then I've already been thinking it and felling it so I think then I can cope with it better!! I know....not healthy at all but I guard my heart very close and it's all I know!!
