My Question of the Day for 08 September 2010 – UPDATED
My Question of the Day: Would the people who love you most and know you best consider you an optimist or a pessimist?
(this question inspired by a tweet by @xsashagirl; thanks!)
My 2 Cents: Those who love me most and know me best would probably call me a pessimist. When I was a teenager, I had a horrible attitude about everything. My mother would introduce me to people like this: “This is my daughter, Faydra. She hates everything.” I can laugh about it now, but it used to burn me up to hear her say that, and then one day I realized why she kept saying it. I was just annoyed all the time and very vocal about it. Thank goodness for growth and maturity.
I don’t think I’m either an optimist or a pessimist.
I think I’m practical, but I still say that loved ones would see me as a pessimist.

My friends would/do call me a pessemist. I like to describe it as short term pessemist, long term optimist.

LikeDislikeThey would say I’m more like a pessimist, yet I think I’m just being a realist.

LikeDislikethey would probably call me a pessimist, because i always think of the worse case scenario first, before i think of the “good”….

LikeDislikeThey would probably describe me as a mixed breed… I always hope for the best, but expect neither bad nor good to happen, so that when either one does happen I can be prepared for whichever. LOL
