I'm a pessimest. I usually like to think things will go wrong so that way if they do, I can say, "See, I knew it." and I won't be let down. And when something good happens, it's like a really nice surprise. Yeah, I have crazy ways of thinking of things. But it works for me.

Rolling Eyes ..thats my take on it that way i can be both pessimistic and optimistic
I was going to say this...

That's a nice in theory, but think of it like this. If you are an optimist and you get let down you can take comfort in the fact that something good can come of it. Being an optimist is good for me because it helps me to see the good in things rather than just the bad. I'm not claiming pure, blind optimism here...just a sense that the whole world to could go to "hell in a handbasket" and everything would still be fine.
