You always look at yourself from the outside. Even as a child I always observed myself and the world.

It robs you of a certain joy in spontaneity.

An optimist is neither naive, nor blind to the facts, nor in denial of grim reality. An optimist believes in the optimal usage of all options available, no matter how limited. As such, an optimist always sees the big picture. How else to keep track of all that’s out there? An optimist is simply a proactive realist.
