OP is an optimist

fatsexybitch

Not to be pedantic but it took me years to understand the optimist/pessimist divide via the halglass because i literally always considered it a factor of time/prior state rather than 'outlook on the world'

If I fill a glass and drink half, that glass is half empty

If i only fill a glass halfway that glass is half full

Honestly that probably is important to the metaphor because if you have a full glass and half gets poured out you are going to have a different reaction then being served that way. Like one is “I was only provided with half” and one is “half was taken from me”.
