So, do you see the glass half-empty or half-full?
Personally, it depends on the situation. If it's a time when I see no way out and I know there's no hope that things will improve, I become pessimistic. However, if I see a silver lining, even if it's small, I immediately try and show everyone that there's hope :)
Where is the "There's Water in it" option? :(
I find that I am an optimistic pessimist. In that, in order that I might be pleasantly surprised, I think negatively, but I dont' believe it in my heart.
it's half full, but I think of that as half empty.
I think the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
To answer the actual question, though, I'm generally pessimistic.
Half full. :bigsmile: But in reality, that question just confuses me. >.<
I'm an optimist because I fear no amount of hardship, and I put myself under a great deal of pressure because I can and always have been able to handle it, whatever it is.
(SPOILER)Because I'm the most rockingest creature of success you chumps'll ever meet.
On the other hand, I get really down about my problems and come off as very pessimistic because until I achieve my great successes, i have absolutely no reason to believe that my whole life won't fall apart like a one of those chess games that's held together by a series of pins. One small break in the position means... Well, I'm sure you've seen that collapse.
Half-empty for about 23 years
Half-full after my change of attitude about a year and a half ago :D
Yeah, me too. :bigsmile:Quote:

I'll third that. If you're filling the glass, it's half full; if you're drinking from the glass, then it'll be half empty.Quote:

How about "it's empty." Are you happy, yet?
It depends on the situation, but I'm generally optimistic. :) :cat:
I deny the existance of said water and aforementioned glass altogether.
Pessimism to an unnecessary degree.
Can never be exactly half full/empty, there's always some degree of error
Now that's pessimism. Mine's beer! :pQuote:

Depends on if I'm drinking or pouring. :beer:
Depends on the situation.
at least there's water
...
I care about nothing, therefore, I chose this one.
Half full most of the time, but there is sometimes where I think it is half empty.
I tend to be quite optimistic... so yeah... half full :)
Half empty, and I hear him say ‘cyanide’.
All I see is a glass that's twice as large as it needs to be. :bigsmile:
Depends on the situation, if I am cheerful and happy i'd see it half full maybe even full. If I am sad, down or sick I'd see it half empty. Now, I see my cap of hot chocolate half empty. *sniff*
Yes! :jess:Quote:

But I think maybe I'm an optimist deep down. Just sometimes. ;x Cos' I still get disappointed when things don't happen like I wanted, even if I was telling myself it wouldn't anyway!
