Being Optimistic (Self Esteem Challenge)

I used to be optimistic. But that was before the pandemic. I tend to be pessimistic now. I struggle to regain the optimism I once had. Seeing what I see everyday makes me pessimistic.It can be so hard to regain what I once had. Time away does help bring back how I once viewed the world. In a good light. I don't believe a person is stricly an optimist or a pessimist. We are a mix of the two. You can't have all light threads in your tapestry. You need to have the contrasting dark threads to make the picture come alive. That's my view of optimism/pessimism.

Yes, I am an optimist. No matter how difficult a situation gets I like to be positive about it. I have a mindset to look at the brighter side of life even in the worse of situations.

@CheeryMango

Are you an optimistic person?

No, with ADHD, I am a terribly pessimistic person. The obsessive thoughts in me are dangerously troublesome. Moreover, if I miss my meds, the fear in me cripples and I feel more of a negative person.

@CheeryMango

Yes I am an optimistic person. I try my best to look at the bright side and I understand that life isn't always easy and that's okay.

I wasnt very optimistic, but now, yes, I started to build a good relationship with optimism. We are here now and some things are going better than yesterday. So maybe tomorrow is better than today.

@CheeryMango I try to be but I'd say I'm more neutral

Not really, but I've been trying to focus more on positivity lately. So far, it's gotten me better (or at least more exciting) results.
