A wishful thinker is one who naively believes, what he/she wants an outcome to be, rather than dealing with the alternate
reality of what the outcome probably in
reality will be. Wishful thinkers are very
sweet, but get into trouble with this way of assessing situations. Often very unrealistic, in a silly way. Pollyanna, optimistic. What they want to be true blinds them to reality.
I am sure the
police will just give me a warning for my out of
date inspection sticker.
I did not read any of the material for the test, and did not prepare at all, but I am sure I will
get a good grade.
He is a wishful thinker.
