I for one am a pessimist. I owe that to how I have had a horrific birth, followed by a horrible childhood, and then some pretty bad teenage years. Though, things have improved with being a vicenarian, but not by much.

Definitely in the middle, leaning toward Pessimist. I've always been hard on myself, and when people say "You're so negative" I say "I'm honest." I'm not cocky either. I hardly ever boast about something unless I know I'm very good at it.

Due to my low self-esteem I'm a pessimist!

Pessimist. And while we're at it: nihilist and narcissist.

Pessimist. And while we're at it: nihilist and narcissist. I see. Might I add that I am also, though somewhat ruefully, a misanthropist (you'd be too if you've been tormented and backstabbed by others time and time again).

The reason I'm so hard on myself is because, I feel, if you go through life thinking you're hot shit and you're the best you will get bitten in the ass. Hard. My dad gets mad at me for saying things like "I'm not popular" because he hates hearing it. I'm not a depressed, emo person. I just don't go through life thinking the road was paved for me. It's brutal honesty. Not depression.

I wonder why NP hasn't voted in this poll yet? Though I do have an idea of where he stands.

To respond to Dirk, I'm a Nihilist and totally not a narcissist. I only brag, if I know for 100% I'm good at something - and that ain't often.

Egoism and elitism but also selfishness. Narcissism is when you have a big ego, think highly of yourself, and brag frequently. Mike, my friend, is a class A narcissist, and I don't think he knows it. That's one thing about him that annoys me greatly.

But, allow me to quote from the great tome of knowledge that is Wikipedia. "In everyday speech, "narcissism" often means inflated self-importance, egotism, vanity, conceit, or simple selfishness. Applied to a social group, it is sometimes used to denote elitism or an indifference to the plight of others. In psychology, the term is used to describe both normal self-love and unhealthy self-absorption due to a disturbance in the sense of self."

Well, I am definitely not a narcissist. Though, I do try to think the best about myself as possible, which is kind of odd for a pessimist.
