Do you ever try to be more optimistic? What do you do to accomplish a brighter feeling? Do you think a person’s predisposition toward optimism or pessimism is because of genetics, life experience or a combination of both? Can optimism be a bad thing? Do you agree that at times it’s better to “fake it until you make it” regarding optimism? When have you ever used such a strategy, if ever? Did it work?

Do you ever try to be more optimistic?
Sometimes
What do you do to accomplish a brighter feeling?
Watch a movie, go on forums, etc... anything to get my mind off pessimistic things might be floating around in my head.
Do you think a person’s predisposition toward optimism or pessimism is because of genetics, life experience or a combination of both?
I'd say both, probably more life experience and environment though.
Can optimism be a bad thing?
Yes, at some point optimism can turn into denial. Sometimes you need to get touch with reality.
