Positive.

Of course I go through phases where I can't be bothered with anything and don't see a point in applying myself to something or looking forward, but for the most part I try to focus on achieving the best possible outcome to a situation. I generally feel that being positive is a good thing as long as you stay grounded enough to realise that, yes, it might not go your way and you could be left disappointed. But in the moment it's definitely worth remaining hopeful, taking chances, and giving something your all even if you feel like sometimes your efforts might just be for nothing. If and/or when it does go wrong, remaining positive is also what gives you the strength to forget ill-feelings and move on.
 
I'm a mixed bag really. I'm generally a positive person, but I have my negative moments to
 
Can there be a "both" option? Because I need a both option. XD

On the outside I'm extremely positive, on the inside I'm extremely negative.
 
I feel as if people view me as a positive person because I'm always smiling and laughing on the outside. For the most part I think I'm pretty positive, but sometimes i feel as I'm negative to myself.
 
Negative. I'm a complete pessimist, and I see that as a good thing. Whenever faced with a problem, I automatically think the worst. I'd rather something meet my expectations than it surprising me and throwing me off guard. Sometimes being optimistic is a bad thing, because it gives you false hope.
 
Neither, sometimes I am positive and sometimes I am negative, usually positive though. But a lot of time in a situation I think of the bad things that could happen before the good things.

Reading this thread.. I think other people may consider me negative as well. I can be pretty sarcastic, nihilistic, cynical.. you name it. I'm usually not very positive unless it's something I like and people may think I'm boring, I don't know.

But hey you can't be this happy-go-lucky person agreeing to everything everyday which people take to an exaggeration and thus think of me as weird or boring. I can be positive just not all the time.
 
Both. I try really hard to be positive, and I am a lot of the time, but there are spurts where I am basically the most negative person ever.
 
I would describe myself as a positive person. I believe that when you're upset over something, you should embrace it into something you can later call good, and that's my way of getting over things. Of course, I can be negative at times, but who doesn't? Just gotta wait for tomorrow.
 
im honestly a mix.


i feel like when it comes to me, im negative against my self


but when it comes to friends, im positive and always are optimistic for them.
 
Positive.

People often tell me that I'm borderline reckless and too care-free, but if it weren't for that I wouldn't have been able to make it this far in my career. I lack common sense and am sometimes oblivious to the world, but that's ok. :) I'm so happy where I am right now.
