I can relate to most of them, though in terms of outward behaviour, I'm far more in line with the optimist/idealist side of the spectrum.

Really, though, I'm a nihilist and a formalist. In the end, I don't make a big fuss about practical matters, not because I'm optimistic about them, but because I just kind of forget to worry about them while I drift around thinking about other things. I'm the guy who, if asked whether the glass is half-full or half-empty, feels compelled to point out that if it's one, it's necessarily the other as well. Technically right, but missing the original point entirely, because I focus more on how the situation is structured than the actual topic.

i chose realism because the negative traits is really suit me. but when i read the positive ones ... ouch, maybe i made a wrong decision of me.

I think Idealism/Cynicism (including cynicism despite it not being included in the poll because it belongs with idealism the same way pessisism does with optimism) are different concepts from Optimism/Pessimism/Realism, albeit a bit similar, the first category focuses on a person's expectations concerning situations and life while the second one is more about their beliefs when it comes to human nature.

Curious what your answer would be @Qarr

As you avoid the question yourself, @Taro_Tanako~ But really, I'm probably a realist followed closely by optimist. But then again I'm horrible at judging myself so don't take anything I say too seriously XD

You got me @Qarr!!

Despite disliking overly broad classifications, I would say I am a realist. However, I am very positive so some hints of optimist too as I always try to see the best in people and hope for good things..but plan for bad.

Realistic , Optimistic ,and Idealistic for the most part .On the outside I magnify that I am all these three , but I'm really pessimistic at heart , I often joke about something going wrong and everybody has a laugh

Mainly I'm a huge pessimist , it's odd but it actually helps where I'm ok if something goes wrong

I remember when I was 13 I asked my art teacher " why do we celebrate Birthdays if we are a year closer to death " so then she replied with something along the lines of " because you get to live , why are you so pessimistic ?"

@Qarr ,But "ay that just me "

Well... if you honestly ask me it would be pessimism :V It's a pain in the ass. I think I was born with it. I even think of the worst possible scenarios when doing everyday things. It takes a lot of effort to get through my personality and tell myself not to overthink things and stop being a whiny cunt because really, none of those scenes would happen. I'm not that unlucky. Well, maybe I am but it probably won't happen regularly, right? I try to just go against what I normally would think since it's more fun that way.

I like to associate myself into Pessimistic / Realistic I immediately go thinking the worsest of the worst of scenarios, and i've been put into difficult situations more than once because of my inability to make/give a proper choice/answers, picking sides is even harder for me to do so i end up in the crossfire. Because of this I shy away from activities and miss out on plenty of great opportunities. But hey at least i get to think ahead and be able to organize myself (and at the same panic because what if it fails? ). But saying my problems out loud, like I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die,etc.. calms me down so i'm kinda good and fine ^-^

I've got the bad traits of Optimism:

Negative Traits: Naive, gullible, easily disappointed and let down, their outlook hinges on idealism, tends to overlook the true nature of people, easily persuaded.

combined with Pessimism's

Negative Traits: Easily depressed, Lacks hope, sees the worst in people, bleak, cynical, distrustful, hard to form relationships with at first.

And for the positives I'd have to frankenstein from all of them. Idealoptissirealist

naive same

im wombo combo pizza; all of the above
