We're both right! But let's look at it my way.

I think it really depends upon what's in the glass....
If it's metamucil then it's half full and that's how much more there is to choke down. If it's a gin-and-tonic then sadly, it's half empty and I'll be needing another soon....lol...

Straightforward, I really don't even think about whether it is half-full or half-empty.   My thoughts always go to where's the ice cubes.   However much there is in the glass, I want it to be nice and cold and tasty.   None of that tepid yuck for me.   I want it to be the best it can be..

Hey, hammock noveilz,

I take your point - there can be yet another opinion, besides being half empty and half full

It doesn't work for me because my glass is made of a 2 way mirror.

The half glass state is still better than the entirely empty state.

I see a glass and make a conscious decision...

  Do I want to say pessimistically it is half empty today or shall I say positively it is half full today. Let me see.......  Ha-Ha

This was analyzed that optimistic people think of the glass as half full. Pessimistic people think of it as half empty.
