A person who has pessimism tendencies sees the glass as half empty while a person with optimism tendencies sees the glass as half full.

Final Thoughts:

People with pessimism tendencies all have a gloom and doom outlook of the future. They see all the challenges and difficulties of every situation or circumstance. For them, life is filled with trials and tribulations and the list can go on.

However, people with optimism tendencies look at the future with great anticipation and hope. They look forward to new opportunities and they will welcome the trials and the triumphs that the future holds.
