Ask an optimist (what would I do in a situation)

🙂

For fun.
And if it helps, I'll have you know that I have Leo Moon and Venus, Libra Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter, and the natal aspects Mars Conjunct Jupiter, Venus Sextile Jupiter, and Venus Sextile Mars.

Shouldn't you be busy making lists?

an optimist? yet you talk sheet about everybody.

if you were to be hit by a car or a train, which one would you prefer.

Prime example of when optimism comes into play. Don't surround yourself with negative, self-loathing people who complain on a regular basis.

I'm loaded down with responsibilities, charts, to-do lists AND have to walk more often then drive.

what would you do if you were in my shoes?

My question:
What would you do if you lost your positivity?

Sun is Virgo.

To answer your question: Well, that's situational. If I encounter /people/ in real life who are stubborn, close-minded, petty, and pretentious, I don't give them the time of day because I know that they'll experience a rude awakening at some point or another in their life. But if I'm personally faced with obstacles, then I feel the urge to make the absolute most of my situation and whatever resources I have in order to overcome those obstacles. I usually tell myself that if I can get through a difficult situation, I'll take away a life-long lesson that will allow me to be more familiar with my capabilities and personal strength.

I go for the train. I love trains.
I don't want a TGV / Shinkansen. The lower speed the better, to feel the rails.

Well, I would motivate myself by asking "would I rather be productive and reap the benefits of my labor, or be unproductive and go through life feeling unfulfilled or directionless."
Having responsibilities and to-do lists shouldn't be seen as things weighing you down. You are working /towards/ something every single day by going through your to-do lists and being responsible.
Maybe you want to maintain a living until you find a better job for yourself, or maybe you're working extra hours so that one day you can take a few days off for yourself to afford a vacation with your siblings or friends.
So it's that key phrase or power thought that you have to have when doing the things you're doing... "One day...I swear I'll be _____" or "One day, I'll have the promotion I deserve" or "One day, I won't have to walk as much as I need to in order to get my errands done."

but where is your sun? Is it in a masculine sign?

I'm a Virgo Sun (that's considered a feminine sign)

Neither. because unlike some people who are unaware of their surroundings, I look where I walk, and I know /exactly/ where I'm going.
The real question is, would you rather get up and change your tune or continue being hateful, uninspired and slapped around by life?

Am seen a lot of optimistic answers lately.
It seems there are more optimistic people trying to get down the optimistic OP.
Keep on the good work ppl

Lol Optimists don't badmouth others, dude! You're living in an illusion. Get real.

Ah, a Scorpio with an INTJ personality type.
Although INTJ is one of the rarest personality types, it is also one of the most relentlessly pessimistic.

Okay.. what would you do in this situation.

Someone pulls into your driveway and asks if they can have a moment of your time to talk about their religion with you.
Are you open to it or do you shun them (without knowing what their religion is) ?

Well first all, I wouldn't let a stranger pull into my driveway. Rude.
Second, I'd be open to have a conversation with anyone if I was walking down a sidewalk or sitting at a bus stop.
Third, if someone /did/ ask me if they could talk to me about their religion, I'd be open to it. Maybe they'd like to take a survey on how familiar people are with what their religion stands for...or maybe they'd like to help clarify misconceptions about their religion or the people that subscribe to that religion.
Either way, there is still a possibility to learn from one another, and I consider myself an avid learner when it comes to life and people. So yes, I would be open.

And Alpha, criticizing and making an observation are two different things. Perhaps you should "get it straight."

Optimism is an outlook on life that propels someone forward, despite the situations they're in. That has nothing to do with the disagreement they have with individuals who racially discriminate or trivialize matters of racism - which is what you must be getting at when you say "badmouth."

Then again, I wonder whether you'd know a thing or two about optimism based on that not-very-smart post you made - trying to associate optimism with outspokenness

the fck outta here.

And @blackphase, you /swear/ you're getting under my skin lol
Each and every single time you post.

Did magneto love mystique?

Yes, but the relationship was platonic.

Let's say you don't have qualities others have that would make you compatible with a certain sign, how would you deal with that...? For instance, someone is very talkative and you're not but you still like them. Such a teenage question. Also what would you do if you were suddenly out of a job or your qualifications went down the toilet. Hypothecal. 😄
