To be optimistic means to always think that the best will happen. Overly optimistic means that you think the best will always happen even when it is impossible for the best to happen.

If no good can come of something and you can see the end game in advance, an overly optimistic person will play it out anyway hoping that good will just happen by chance.

What does polyanish mean?

You may mean the term pollyannaish. This is an adjective that describes a person that is overly optimistic and cheerful even in the face of disaster. The character of Pollyanna is taken from the stories of E.H. Porter (1868-1920). I recently used this term to apply to a colleauge trying to see the bright side in respect to the current economic turmoil.
