Three different things people mean by "I'm an optimist" 1) "I try to perceive the world accurately, and my honest assessment is that things are great" 2) "I try to perceive the world positively, regardless of whether that's accurate" 3) "I am cheerful and like solving problems"

There's optimism in the sense of "even if my priors suggest 95% chance of unhappy outcome I will try to not be unhappy" and optimism in the sense of "I have a good feeling about forward projections".
