Are you truly a cynic or just a disappointed optimist?

[Anti Snigger]

I've been thinking about this in my own life, and I'm curious if the difference is truly meaningful.

 

[TATE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODE!!]

Pragmatic with age.

The day I become truly blackpilled is the day I kill myself.

I'm not a cynic, I don't live in a wine barrel you faggot

Cynic


Your work is never enough

 

[Anasûrimbor Kellhus]

hmm hard to say. Its easiest to say that I'm clowned pilled, so I'm cynical in that I think bad things are going to happen, but I remain optimistic that the side effects of my enemies winning will be really funny because my enemies are retarded low impulse control neurotic loser faggots.

When it comes to my personal life I try to remain optimistic since most of the clownery going on in the world doesnt really effect me all that badly at the moment.

I spent way too long being cynical and angry. It's exhausting. Embrace the optimism pill.

 

[Sultan Bin Jewstar]

Both, but conditionally
I just stopped sucking as bad at recognizing energy leeches.
Let a thief stay in your house, you'll end up missing some shit.

 

[God of Nothing]

What's the difference?

 

[ArnoldPalmer]

I don't think anyone starts out cynical, and that cynical people are born from high expectations and consistently subpar outcomes. They're the same picture.

 

[Harbinger of Kali Yuga]

My soul seethes with hate and the glass isn't just half empty, it's filled with piss and poison. Life is a slow downward spiral into decrepitness and cognitive decline as the world around you disintegrates into tranny-filled horse shit.

 

[Otoya Yamaguchi]

cynical for this earth, optimistic for the long run.

 

[SpergioLeonne]

I'm curious if the difference is truly meaningful.

It is, because if a pure cynic is actually something that exists, they’re immune to contentment and nobody should bother negotiating with them.

 

[RussianParasite]

Nothing you can do about being born in the time/ place you were so no need to get assmad about everything. I can’t change the world but I have some limited impact on my family/friends/community so that’s good enough.

Laugh at retards and be happy.

 

[Anonitolia]

I used to think I was a cynic, but I think as time has gone on I've become more of an optimistic pessimist. I'm expecting the worst but hoping for the best and it's made life pretty enjoyable I think.

 

[Tablet County]

Cynics and pessimists I find are typically romantics or optimists who've had a brush with reality and realized that people aren't nice to each other and the bad guys win more often than storybooks would have you believe.

 

[Lil Yappy]

I'm fairly optimistic about my own personal life but cynical about society. I'm not really disappointed in society because I was always into conspiracy stuff so I never really trusted it in the first place. I think to feel disappointment you'd have to believe that everything was peachy to start with. I think I do get angry that people are so willing to go along with the stupidity though.

 

[Lemmingwiser]

Do everything with the courage of desperation.
