Are you a Tigger or an Eeyore ?

I think I'm probably an evolving Tigger. I've never been a raging optimist because I've found that, if I look forward to things, they either dont happen at all or dont live up to expectations. However, I dont go around thinking everythings going to be awful and, even when things aren't going well & I feel a bit 'Eeyore-ish' inside, I pull on my Tigger suit and make the best of things.

I think I am more of a Tigger. I like to think of myself as more optimistic. Eeyore comes off as a pessimist. On rainy gloomy days, I am sure I have my Eeyore moments. I guess we all do. I think Tigger looks on the brighter side of life. I hope I do to.

I think most of us would prefer to be Tigger but, as you point out, sometimes those Eeyore moments just seem to slap us in the face!

I have actually always identified with Piglet more than the other characters. I used to have a friend that was an Eeyore all the way!

Piglet always seems so sweet, trusting and innocent

I'm an Eeyore all the way. I'm not really optimistic in any way, shape or form. Sometimes I am but I usually get let down. Getting let down constantly has definitely turned me into an Eeyore.

Yes, getting let down does that. Hope you have some good times ahead

This is so cute :) I'm probably a mix of both Tigger and Eeyore. There are days when I am so full of energy, an optimist, and sometimes this gets me into trouble like Tigger. There are days when I am so lazy I dont want to get out of bed. I just let things happen around me without a care in the world, thats my Eeyore side. I can switch from one to another in an instant, but I think that is partly due to my being bipolar. On the whole I am probably more of Eeyore, except when needed like while I am working, I bring out my Tigger side.

I find it easier to bring out the Tigger when working aswell - or if I'm nervous, then I go into Tigger-overdrive mode!

I'm more a Pooh. Which if you've ever read that book, means I'm kinda taoist, and don't worry about what happens much, but it all seems to work out in the end.

That's probably the best way to be. I am getting to be less bothered by stuff as I get older so maybe, in time I might work my way through the whole book. thanks
