An optimist is usually a person who always remains happy and cheerful despite various problems that arise. Besides being wonderful, joyful people to be around, they can also be dangerously unrealistic and at times, wickedly annoying. That is, if you're a pessimist. Optimists are generally loved and appreciated by society; however they are hated and despised by pessimists. (Who are boring, whining people).
