Notesメモ

"Is the glass half empty or half full?" is a proverbial phrase, used rhetorically to indicate that a particular situation could be a cause for pessimism (half-empty) or optimism (half full), or as a litmus test to simply determine an individual's worldview. これは英語に存在していることわざのようなもので、同じ状況であっても見る人によっては捉え方が違うという意味合いがあります。

If J drink something and are almost finished with it I'll say "Oh, it's almost empty", however filling up a pitcher I'll say oh, almost full (or over full).

It is both. If something is only half filled with something, then it's also half not filled with that thing.

Depends. Did you fill it up halfway? Then it’s half full. Did you drink half of it? Then it’s half empty.
