I am the latter and have been for a long time. What is YOUR story?
As a help here are some things to think about (thank you Brain Tracy):
Optimists: control their reactions and responses, isolate an Incident (don't take everything personally), see setbacks as temporary events, don't take failure personally, remain calm and objective, view a negative situation as a single event not connected to other potential events & caused largely by external factors over which (one) can have little control.
Pessimists: sees negative events as permanent, as part of life and destiny, sees incidents as pervasive (they are indications of a problem or shortcoming that pervades every area of life), has a tendency to take EVERYTHING personally. can be at MOST times angry, upset, or distracted
