Bitch, you do not understand cynicism at all. There's this bitch that is selling a book on cynicism. Right? But it isn't even close to cynicism! It's like this vapid rejection of stoicism where she calls on you to reject truth entirely and use lies and "creating your own narrative" to curate reality.
Hym "And it sounds a lot like the Solipsistic Machiavellianism I was critiquing before branded as Cynicism. Cynicism is the wholesale rejection of social norms and viewing the world as it truly is unfiltered by modern sensibilities. It's literally just calling a spade a spade in the absolute. When Diogenes asks Alexander the Great where to find his father's corpse... Not only does he ignore entirely the decorum that is supposed to be associated with Alexander's title but upfront with his intentions to rob his father's corpse. He suffers no delusions about how the world really is. But THAT she shit is pedaling? Doesn't even resemble cynicism."

The cynic always had to look for the positive stuff to convince himself/herself that it wouldn't collapse, but always wondered what if?

Someone that tells you there's a light at the end of the tunnel, since if a cynic doesn't put everybody in the tunnel in the first place, there is just light with no tunnel at the end of it.
The cynic rabbit will tell you there's light at the end of the hole, but not everybody wants to hide in a hole forever, even if there is a fox or a snake nearby.

Someone that hates anything they think is pessimistic or realistic, anything that isn't viewed with rose-colored glasses.
The real cynic wasn't as broad minded as he/she claimed to be, he/she lived mostly for show, and only smiled on the outside, on the surface, to convince the world and everyone around him/her that the sky wasn't really going to fall like he/she thought it would.

A mean word for depressed realists who don't trust anyone for reasons that are admittedly quite valid if you look from their perspective for a bit.
He's not stuck-up, he's a cynic; he simply knows what the world is really like. Some people are just plain monsters, and the good ones are few and far between. And he knows that.

Hym "The truth makes me feel bad so I rail against cynicism and recede into solipsism. Don't listen to the cynic or I'll have a mental breakdown, like Jordan. Better to fill your mind with positive sounding lies and then regurgitate them into the internet. Then, when you make money from regurgitating the positive sounding lies, you can pretend it's the positive sounding lies and not the getting pays to spout them. Then you have fucking gas station workers repeating the positive sounding lies without ever achieving the outcome."
