Optimists vs Pessimists

[Still Wynning]

I echo your thoughts, dude.

Thanks.

I forgot I posted in this thread. Still have the same outlook.

By "Women's Bicycle Seat", you mean "low-self esteem", right?

I'm a bit of the first two, none of the others. I'm life is not fueled on alcohol, nor do i have low-self esteem that effects my behavior on things that matter.

I like to define myself as a cynical realistic-optimistic/pessimist.
Yes, it's a mouthful, but it's easily to explain:
> I'm pessimist about myself
> I'm optimistic about others (in general terms, not individualizing)
> I'm realistic about the world
> I'm cynical about everything


Examples:

> I hope for the best to the world, i don't see anything that makes me believe in that.
> I have no past, no present and even less future. I can only hope to die soon, but i don't want too, because, just like a bad movie, i want to see how it ends.
> Life sucks.
> I would gladly give my life so everyone could live in full happiness and peace
> Everything sucks and i don't really have many interests.


The ironic part of it all, i have no real reason to be like this. My life is comfortable. I have no major problems or responsibilities. My life could easily be a blast...i could easily be Barney Stinson...yes, even with the sex (i'm said to be handsome), but i'm not like that since i'm not misogynistic or chauvinistic.
And even with my inherent pessimism about myself, my not an unhappy person in any way or form; i totally accept myself and my reality.

Optimist. Make the best out of whatever cards you get dealt.

I'm optimistic when I need to, pessimist when the facts are what they are, overall cynical.

 

[NotNickFury]

Pessimist at heart. Maybe from looking at the world around you, but partially because wishful thinking sometimes leads to a disappointment in many aspects. That or politics have left me jaded.

i like to think myself that is better to expect nothing then be surprised than to be optimistic and then be dissapointed

It depends.

My day can start with seeing a gorgeous girl in tight yoga pants, and end with a fat gal in those same pants.

Take it day by day.

Smoke some funk, ya know?
