If human were divided into optimist and pessimist type, I am neither. I don't consider myself to be optimist as I'm scared of getting hurt. I tend to overthink and stressed myself out. However, I am not considered pessimist either. Well, I do take risks sometimes. I broke law few times and speak up my mind when needed. Hence, I consider myself to be on the neutral type who acts according to the situation, current mood as well as motivation.
However, it really intrigues me when I were to mingle with overly pessimist person. I felt suffocated and caged. There is no moving forward in these people dictionary. They feel too safe in their own zone and refuse to try something new or fresh. If possible I wish to avoid these people and surround myself with optimist people.
