What would you consider yourself to be? How do others seem to see you? And do you hang around with people who are similar in outlook?

I am an optimist. I believe others see me as such. As for those surrounding me.... about 1/2 and 1/2, though it tends to me more optimists. Pessimists suck the life out of me.

I'm annoyingly optimistic with occasional short bursts of pessimism.

I fight everyday to remain optimistic, but it is getting harder everyday
I might add I consider myself a realist for the most part

I am your stereotypical Jewish pessimist: IF anything can go wrong, it will.
Some of my friends call me a realist, however.

When you get up in the morning, you can say "Today is going to be a good day".
Or you can say "Today is going to be a terrible day"
Either way, you'll be right.
