Glass is half full. My DH is the opposite. Guess we balance each other out. looch on "Glass half full, glass half empty?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glass-half-full-glass-half-empty#post-1772157 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:56:13 +0000 looch 1772157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Half full, I generally root for the underdogs and I always try to see the bright side.

I am a pretty positive person, and usually think the best of people. I tend to give the benefit of the doubt, until they prove me wrong. I also forgive easily and it's hard for me to hold grudges. swurlygurl on "Glass half full, glass half empty?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glass-half-full-glass-half-empty#post-1772051 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:23:16 +0000 swurlygurl 1772051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Half-full, probably too much so :) ILoveLettie on "Glass half full, glass half empty?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glass-half-full-glass-half-empty#post-1772046 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:21:15 +0000 ILoveLettie 1772046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH & I are both half-full. I have been half-empty in the past, but being with my husband has really taught me how to have a more positive perspective. It's something that I've really worked at for a few years as part of managing my chronic anxiety, and I'm happy to say that I don't have to work as hard at it anymore; being positive is starting to come much more naturally, and I've never felt better. skibobrown on "Glass half full, glass half empty?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glass-half-full-glass-half-empty#post-1772029 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:16:45 +0000 skibobrown 1772029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm half full. DH is half-empty. Life has been pretty stressful lately, so we've been talking about how the half-empty all the time attitude is really getting me down.

I naively think people have the best of intentions and tend to think things will work out. However, I have a history of anxiety and depression, so I have my half-empty moments too. mrsjyw on "Glass half full, glass half empty?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glass-half-full-glass-half-empty#post-1771736 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 12:13:58 +0000 mrsjyw 1771736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It's interesting to see that the poll leans Half-Full, but most of the commenters are Half-Empty! I think I def do have moments where I am Half-Empty and expect the worst (from past experience or what not). But, I'm trying to be more positive overall and hope for the best from the get go! anandam on "Glass half full, glass half empty?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glass-half-full-glass-half-empty#post-1768598 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 21:22:43 +0000 anandam 1768598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't mean to do it, but I think I'm half empty. Not in a way that I poo-poo anybody's plans/ideas, but moreso that I interpret things in the worst possible way. DH and I regularly walk away from the same interaction (like a prenatal appointment or group dinner) with vastly different ideas about what was said/intended (he thinks it was all good, I think there was some unsaid negative thing). I'm working on it! simplyfelicity on "Glass half full, glass half empty?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glass-half-full-glass-half-empty#post-1768388 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:34:02 +0000 simplyfelicity 1768388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It honestly varies with me.

Or expect the worst, so that you're pleasantly surprised? I'd say I'm usually a glass half full type of person.
