Cynical

Distrusting or disparaging the moves of others; pessimistic
I become a cynical person if something that I spent a lot of time on gets destroyed.

Cynicism

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."

Cynic

Someone who always has to focus on the positive things in life and never worry to keep themselves from going crazy.
The cynic always talked about the light at the end of the tunnel since the tunnel was all he/she could see. Most people are already aware that what can go wrong usually will, what's the point in making something sound bigger and better than what it really is?

Cynic

Somebody who's always smiling because they're not right in the head.
He/she would smile when somebody looked at him/her, but would be holding a hammer to split the back of somebody's head with when you had your back turned. There was a frowning cynic behind his/her smile.
