Gosh--not a good combo eh? We're both very much "worst case scenario" types of people--always prepared for the worst... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-optimist-or-a-pessimist#post-7972 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 08:10:25 +0000 Adira 7972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm... I'm a worry-wart - does that make me a pessimist? I don't think the worst will happen, but I worry about it and try to plan accordingly, haha. I definitely take after my mother, so maybe I should ask what she is and that'll tell me what I am, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-optimist-or-a-pessimist#post-7852 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:52:20 +0000 Rubies 7852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a serious pessimist and the hubs is an optimist.

I know I get it from my mom for sure. Luckily, my husband is an optimist and is always reminding me to look at the bright side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-optimist-or-a-pessimist#post-7372 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 12:31:22 +0000 tequiero21 7372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i'm an optimist. i would consider my parents optimists too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-optimist-or-a-pessimist#post-7364 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:46:35 +0000 MegWag 7364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an optimist. I'm famous amongst my friends for finding ways to attribute positive intentions or meanings to other people's seemingly-negative actions... They call it "Megging It".<br /> That said, I'm also a realist. I'm not one of those people that refuses to see negative, I just find that it's easier to approach life from a positive angle, until there's reason to believe otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-optimist-or-a-pessimist#post-7362 Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:39:58 +0000 Mrs. Bee 7362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I once read that pessimism is learned/inherited from your mom. I'm not sure if thats accurate, but my mom is a pessimist and my dad is an optimist. I'm a pessimist and Mr. Bee is an optimist. I'd love our children to be optimists, so I'm going to have to work on my pessimism!</p> <p>Are you an optimist or pessimist? Are your parents optimists or pessimists? </p>
