Are you an optimist or a pessimist?
Would you say you are usually a 'glass half full' or a 'glass half empty' kind of person?

Pessimist. Big time! Rationally i should be okay about the sociology exam today but every part of me feels i'm going to fuck up. Can't even focus on last minute revision.
Then again, i think that was just my biology on tuesday, it's pretty much crushed any confidence i have in doing well in anything.

I consider myself a realist, although it's generally percieved as being pessimistic I think.

Thanks! Looking through the past papers there's been no essay questions on marxism since 2004 so fingers crossed that will come up. If i get an essay question on marriage or divorce, i'm screwed lol.

Was going to pretty much type the same thing. I figured someone already beat me to it.

Pessimist. Unrealistically pessimistic. With a vein of optimism that gives you something to wake up for in the morning I suppose.

Definite optimist. My friends/family have all come to know something is seriously wrong if I'm not smiling or finding positives in a situation.

I sit on the fence, I'm more of a "It's half a glass" neither half full nor half empty. WHERE IS MY MIDDLE CHOICE IN THIS POLL?

Both. I am optimistic about somethings and pessimistic about others. I'm optimistic enough to know that the things i'm pessimistic about can be changed.

Never really got my head round the glass half full thing. Depends if the glass is in the process of being filled or emptied.....

Not surprised you feel that way, Bromley is a shit hole! Take a trip to the Glades, that'll make you feel better.

bromleys not so bad... if you have enough weed to numb the trauma that it enflicts through sheer tedium!
IM SO BORED OF GOING TO THE FUCKING SWAN AND MITRE EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND! NONE OF US LIKE IT BUT WE STILL ALL GO THERE BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING TO DO HERE!
