it can be if u're not realistic. but for the most part looking at things on the bright side is a good thing. it keeps u upbeat and hopeful. nothing wrong with that.

No! I wish I was more optimistic! It's proven that optimistic people live longer, live happier lives, are more healthy and have more friends and better relationships. I have a lot of friends who are what you could say "overly" optimistic but I love being around them because their energy just seems to rub off on me. Plus, happier people are just so much more fun!

Yes. If you are an optimist you expect the best. When you get the best you are not surprised so you don't feel the intense joy that a pessimist feels. Then, as you are expecting the best, when you don't get it you know crushing disappointment. A pessimist expects less then the best so isn't disappointed or even surprised. Therefore, optimists never know that truly giddy joy when something goes right -- they only know the dismal depression when something goes wrong. Much better to be a pessimist.

Always look on the bright side of life! She is probably annoyed that you are so cheery and stuff. Being positive and optimistic is a great gift and will get you through life.

It can be only if you aren't realistic in your approach to things as it can set you up for heartaches and pain if things don't turn out well all of the time. Other then that it's good to be optimistic.

No. Somebody somewhere has to be optimistic. I always try to be optimistic. Sometimes it doesn't work.

Not as long as you're realistic about things you're optimistic about. If that makes sense.

No, it just gives the impression that you are constantly enthusiastic. But that's not a bad thing, just calm it down a bit! I knew someone like that, it can be annoying at the best of times but they were great fun to be with. Always lifting you up when your feeling down. Definitly NOT a bad thing. ;-)
