Are you an optimist or a pessimist?

There are both types of people out there who don't know what the definition of these are so I will give an example of both that way there is no confusion.

An optimist is a person who looks at a glass and sees it being half full. They are always looking at the best possible outcome to situations.

A pessimist will look at a glass and see it half empty. They are always expecting the worst possible outcome to a situation.

I am a natural born pessimist. I have always seen the glass half empty. I do expect the worst possible outcome of a situation. There is a reason for this. The world does not give you the best possible outcome to a situation but maybe 25% of the time. If I was an optimist I would be constantly let down and disappointed. Being a pessimist I always look for the worst and I am never disappointed and genuinely surprised when things do go good. That being said please at the beginning of your reply state if you are an optimist or pessimist. I would like to see how many are what?

I think I'm a realist but if I had to pick one of your options, I'm probably a pessimist.
