Both!! That is why this is a test question for determining if a person is optimistic or pessimistic. Half full suggests optimism and half empty suggests pessimism. But in truth, the glass is both half empty and half full!!

Well really, it all depends. If you poured water into the glass halfway, then it's half full. If you had a full glass but drank half of it, then the glass is half empty.

It depends on if it is being filled or being emptied. If a waiter is filling my glass and stops halfway, it would have only filled it half full. If I am drinking it and drank half of it. My glass would be half empty.

I think of it as half empty, because it was full, you drank from it and it will eventually be all gone, and will eventually be empty. So half empty, you're getting to where it will obviously end up.
lmao
