Optimistically Pessimist

Are you a Pessimist or an Optimist? Why do you think you are?

Here's a test:

What are your answers to these questions:

Glass: half-full or half-empty?

You have Cancer: certain death or you'll fight with every breath you have?

A rumour was started at school/work: end of your life or you just laugh it off?

Birth: leads to death or the beginning of your life?

House burning: losing everything you loved or at least you're alive?

Attractive female/male date: do you think you're good enough or do you run away?

You give a homeless person money: he'll buy beer or he'll buy a meal?

Boss calls you into his office: is he going to fire you or give you a raise?

You're a bit half and half aren't you, babe? But if I had to say, you're more of a pessimist because more of the important questions were answered pessimistically.

Wow! You're a real optimist. I'm guessing it's because you're 14.

Keep thinking that way, Wassup, don't let adulthood take away your optimism.

Pessimistic nope - realistic yes

The glass will always be half-empty...I dunno, I never think of a half-empty glass as half-full...

Cancer: well, truth be told, I'd mope for a bit but then rally myself for the battle ahead.

Rumours don't bother me particularly...if it was a scandalous one, I'd put someone straight, but I'd never let it depress me in the least.

Birth: beginning of life - to see it from a morbid perspective is...well, f**kin' morbid.

Burning house: I'd be more concerned with the safety of others than my own personal welfare.

I'd be flattered that someone attractive would want to date me...I'd relish it.

Homeless dude: I couldn't care less what he spent it on, as long as it softens the reality of living on the streets for even a brief moment.

Boss: I'd think he was about to upbraid or sack me...such is my luck in the job sphere right now.

Optimist!

Heh, it might just be that every one of you is overly grim, Mai.

It might be, babe. But then again it could be largely due to the fact that when I see someone is optimistic, it's like a foreign language to me.

Right, I've been putting off my answers, but I'll do it now...sorry:
