Are you an automatically negative Nick/Nellie? Do you expect worst case or are you Sunshine Sam/Sue? Are your friends just like you?

    I'm a Suzie Sunshine with a dash of sarcasm and a pinch of skepticism.

    While I have friends who fall everywhere on the spectrum, I prefer the company of people who are similar. Negative Nicks and Nellies tend to wear me out.

    Happy Sunday, Rosie!

    No, I do NOT post an endless stream of negative posts about Don Trump every livelong day . . . oh, wait. 

    Never mind.

    I am a hopeless optimist.. everyone who knows me would agree... Funny thing is tho... i don't have any optimism about Trump... I said from the start he'd be bad for your country... and well I've not been proven wrong so far..

    Is that a classic example of being an optimist only for something that you consider positive?  I'm not sure that defines one as being an optimist . . .

    I suppose I'm more of a negative Nancy. The way I see it, if I have low expectations from the start, I would feel happier if the outcome is atleast a little better than I thought. If the outcome is as bad as I expected, then I won't feel as bad because I was atleast prepared.
