Do you think you're more of an optimist, a pessimist, or a realist?

I'm a realistic optimist.
Realist.
It's a commitment I have, to accept things as they are and respond as necessary and as appropriate.

If trying to guess at an outcome, I err a little on the pessimistic side - and that way I get a pleasant surprise when the positive occurs and enjoy it more.

@hartfire I understand your point. But I believe the more optimistic you are, the more good things come your way.
@Madeleine Could be true.
It's a confident approach which might lead you to risk a few more chances - such as with job applications or creativity, or even making an approach to a man you find interesting.
I confess that my caution, fear of possible disappointment has kept me safe but also held me back.
Psychologists do say that optimism is the healthiest.

I'm a realist & accept things as they are. But an optimist when looking to future events.
