Pessimist. It's controlled my life in positive and negative ways. Maybe I'm going to become a pen-tester or security auditor when I get the chance.
Pessimist. Many times even when something good happens, I reflect on it with a more pessimistic mindset and it just becomes another thing to be grumpy about.
[QUOTE=GastricTank;44589792]I'm almost always happy, so the former.
The only time I get angry or sad is when I'm painfully hungry or other people be givin me a hard time for no reason.[/QUOTE]
I've only been mad in the company of my friends once. I threw a remote at someone's head. It was all because I hit my funny bone (really hard, it felt like my entire arm was engulfed in flames) and they laughed at me. I feel really bad about it.
Pessimistic realist, would love to be optimistic but that is incompatible with realism.
I consider myself to be a realist.
Realist, I take things as they come.
The glass-half empty/full metaphor is bullshit.
If you're filling it up, it's half-full.
If you're pouring it out, it's half-empty.
When ever someone asks me the half full / half empty glass argument, I tell them that
"the boundary between the water and the air is approximately at the midpoint of the height of the glass"
Easier to be surprised about a good thing happening if you assume constantly that your balls are going to be ripped off by rabid animals at any second.
Huge pessimist. Shit always goes wrongs and I know it will, and I know when to expect the bad things. Makes it less stressful for me in a sort of "Yep, I called that shit" sort of way.
I used to try to be optimistic about things, but you get dissapointed a lot less when you're pessimistic.
Bipolar? I tend to go from "life is nice", to "why the fuck do I even live, life is shit".
I try to be optimistic about things, especially future related things, because if I wouldn't I wouldn't be motivated to work for the things I want to achieve in life and just stay in the position I am at for the rest of my life.
