Do You Consider Yourself A Cynical Optimist?

https://www.bustle.com/articles/142108-13-struggles-of-being-a-cynical-optimist

Apparently, it's a thing. Who know? I thought there were only optimists/dreamers and cynicalists/realists. Of course, I also know that it's never a good idea to label people and put them in a neat little box to live in.

 

I would consider a cynic and a realist to be in separate categories.

 

Something like that. I think i'm just a realist. I know some people/places/things are horrible. And some are amazing. And some are just blah.

 

I only put it that way, because often times realists are labeled as cynicalists. So, bah to them and their labeling logic.

 

i just try to avoid expecting anything and enjoy the show.
some things are just too easy to predict
and some are too easy to deny
so i don't always get it right,
i'm just glad the universe is so diverse
even though that allows for things i don't like,
that it also allows for things i do,
and sometimes, well every kind of thing does happen.
i don't think its cynical to realize that every kind of thing happens,
that individual justice often has little to do with it,
but statistically, the more people hate logic and are inconsiderate the worse things get for everyone,
on average i mean, and likewise the converse tendency is also just as real

 

I am mostly a realist, but I sometimes tend to lean towards cynicism.
Which is unfortunate since I despise cynicism. It's ugly, cheap, unpleasant and sort of a disease.
Anyways, mostly just a disappointed realist, yeah.

Also, is bustle like buzzfeed?
Buzzfeed is the worst.

 

so true

More like a cynical cynicist.

 

sometimes i enjoy satyre and sometimes i get tired of it, but i always try to avoid expecting, good OR bad.

 

Someone asked me if I'm an optimist just today - I said "I hope so!"

 

clinical optometrist.

 

Not sure what Buzzfeed is. I just randomly find articles to read in the general search engine of Google, and that carries me to numerous sites. Not sure what I was looking for this time to read that I happen to stumble upon this article. But, as soon as I read the title I thought of Hip. I didn't even finish reading it, until afterwards.

But, now that I read it...

... from my experiences,, I have been told that I'm negative, but at the same time I have been told that I see the world with rose tinted glasses and that my behavior is refreshing because I get excited about things, and people. So, maybe... I won't pass it that I am both. But, to be honest... I really don't like labels, and I don't like labeling myself.

 

Awwwwwwwwwww. I just want to hug those two carton characters.

 

Was it a random question, or the current conversation prompt it? What were you two talking about?

 

I think you're a beautiful person.

 

Not sure what that is. What is that?

 

This explains it really well.

 

Are you mocking my stupidity?

 

No, I'm mocking your laziness.
