Are you an optimist, pessimist or realist?

[Scurrybt]

Personally, I try approach things as a realist.

[Apollo702]

All of the above- but mostly a realist.

I do big things that others are afraid of and would never attempt. It's who I am.

So I think things through and plan plan plan. Eventually, there is a point to get things started and along the way adjustments may need to be made.

But there is a point in which one needs to get out of the thinking stage and into the action phase- or nothing ever actually gets off the ground.

Think it- but don't overthink it.

All 3. I must be tri-polar?

I hate pessimism.

I'm probably a pessimist and when I'm feeling down, Optimists can get on my nerves.

To paraphrase an old military precept: plans are only good until the first screw strips.

Realist. Optimist and pessimist are delusional concepts.

That's a very one-note outlook to have on a subject that is more complicated than that. Yeah it *can* get into delusion, but not always.

[Riruru]

I can be any or all of them depending on my mood

[A&A]

Uhm... All in one? It depends what I have to approach.

[AdahnGorion]

Why are there no idealist option?

If your views don't reflect reality then you're deluded. They're not seeing the world how it is but rather how they think it ought to be.

Pessimists take on a defeatist attitude usually because they've experienced or have seen a lot of suffering in the past therefor they think the world is overall negative. It's not really, they've just trained themselves to focus on all the negative, it's all they see, so they're deluded.

Optimists are the same, just the opposite. Instead of plummeting into their delusion they throw themselves into it willingly, taking on a very naive, altruistic, idealistic and almost child-like view on the world.

Optimist. Life is too short to constantly be worrying about what could go wrong.
