Realistic =/= Pessimistic

Optimistic.
I dream about my future too much. And, well, some people say that it's never gonna happen, but I'm always determined to achieve my dreams.

I only think realistically in class or whatever. And I'm hardly ever pessimistic unless something is making me sad or depressed.

Realistic doesnt always have to be pessimistic . pessimism is based on atitude . im equally both realistic and optimistic . i`ve been meditating this for awhile .

Optimistic. People always state the negative and I'll be like "BUT WHAT IF THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN?!" I always bring up the what if's. Not that that's always a good thing........

Probably more optimistic than realistic. I always try to keep a positive outlook & I'm not afraid to dream big. [:

I tend to be overly optimistic. Though in another sense, I do tend to be realistic. I'm one of those people that cancel myself out.

I'm always more realistic than optimistic, and people always mistaken me for being pessimestic instead.

I like to be optimistic, but I am also realistic at the same time. I don't hope for a positive result when I know something bad is probably going to come out of my actions.

Yay I voted the tie-breaker lol.
Before I used to be a TOTAL optimist..then I realized I get too irritated to be an optimist so I turned into a realist. Woot woot!

We have another tie. happy.gif I'd rather be an optimist, despite the cynic in me wanting to be realistic, I'm such a damn sucker for those "rags to riches" stories.

I'm pretty realistic, I suppose I can be optimistic when I feel like it.

Optimistic.

I think of what we as people can do to make the world a better place. I try to make worst situations best as possible. However, sometimes i may not care and start to get realistic...

I'm pretty much solid realist,
but in relationships I'm optomistic.

and realism is not pessimism.
trust me. my best friend and my ex are pessimists.

you dont have to be pesimistic to be realistic

some people just go overboard with their optimism to unrealistic standards
but i always considered myself a realistic optimist

I just realized today that I'm an extreme in both depending on the situation. I can be overly optimistic, whereas I can do things I know I can't do (like Jedi and Ninja stuff), and sometimes I don't believe there's hope at all... (Like my friend who's trying to be a model, mind you she's 160 lbs....)

I'd have to agree with Heather.
I am realistic, but not in a pesimistic way. In more of an Optimistic way. happy.gif
Realistic Optimist, as she said.

I'm a weird combination of both.

I try my best to be optimistic,
but sometimes my first thought is a realistic one.

Optimistic. I always try to see the brighter side of things. Although, when I know I need to be realistic, I can be.

I'm more realistic. Sometimes, I think optimistically sometimes, but then I realize it's stupid. mellow.gif

I'm probably more of a realist. But I try to be sheery anyway, because otherwise it's irritating.
