it can be surprising how “realistic” people can be labeled negative or pessimistic
but i guess i should be more positive then,
keep beating me Life, oh sorry, i mean tickling me, tickles are never torture and never negative
cheer up, stay positive, and don’t forget to smiiiile, that’s the way to success and happiness and all and only good things will happen with a joy joy attitude
i won’t fail, i’m not a failure i’m just “pre-success”, now isn’t that being positive
“cheeeese”, all the way down to the pavement
It’s hard to tell. Reality is subjective, so, no matter how I perceive things, they will always seem either pessimistic or optimistic to someone else. Additionally, the future distorts our sense of positive, negative, and realistic. One might say that a person expecting their romantic relationship to end from the start is pessimistic if, in the future, their relationship worked out. In a different scenario, that same person, with the same way of thinking might be considered a realist when the relationship fails. In the end, we’re all just guessing anyway so nothing really matters.

A little bit of both and realist … all rolled into one.
