Optimist or Pessimist?

[abronymouse 5,572]

I'm an optometrist. Because I like to see ponies seeing the best. See.

Really though I do tend to think things will prolly work out alright.

And received a degree in optometry :3

(so sorry  )

I’m more neutral. I don’t think I’m one or the other. 

This made me think of this for some reason lol. Not heard this since I was a young teen lol

I try to stay optimistic, but as soon as anything bad happens, I suddenly turn pessimistic.

When I was younger I used to be incredibly pessimistic, and in general just kind of a downer when discussing any serious topic.

Now I consider myself neither a pessimist nor an optimist, but a realist. I try to take a step back and see things how they are, unclouded by my mental biases. It may be impossible to fully get rid of said bias but at least trying will help me make better decisions by engaging more with reality directly.

I am neither one nor the other, I am a realist.

Realism? Pessimism? There's a difference?

I always like to be optimistic and look on the bright side. 😊
