Optimist vs Pessimist

I feel that it is better to expect defeat so that it doesn’t hit so hard when it comes.

I believe that where there’s a will, there’s a way.

When I undertake something new, I expect that it will succeed. I generally look at the bright side of life. / I
have a tendency to blow problems out of proportion.

I enjoy myself most when I am alone and away from other people.

It does not take me long to shake off a bad mood. Minor setbacks are something I usually ignore.
