And which part of cynic are you trying to shake off from your personality? And why?
>distrusting or disparaging the motives of others;
>showing contempt for accepted standards of honesty or morality by one's actions, especially by actions that exploit the scruples of others
>bitterly or sneeringly distrustful
>contemptuous
>pessimistic
>a person who has negative opinions about other people and about the things people do

Boy one looks educated when spamming definitions from dictionaries :-)

Pessimistic and bitter, about basically everything new. Unless it's good, which seldomly is the case.

I am afraid being pessimistic is a good trait which prevents you from trusting stupid ideas and people around you. Unless you have super creative job (which need people who believe in new projects and crazy ideas), you can stay like you are now without any issues?

>Example:
Many people doesn't believe in success of the import of kebabs into Germany. You win as a pessimistic.
>Another one:
This girl claims she loves me. I don't believe her, she just wants my money. This can suck or save you with 50% probability :-)

Tell us why anon.

Well tom, you can do this the easy way...or tha haaaard way

If the hard way involves me bouncing on my boy's dick, I'm in.

Well point taken, for me it's mainly that everything 'creative' that is being made, is pure money grabbing shit. People just seem to aimlessly buy and accept shit, without a single thought.
I know I shouldn't be bothered by it. But it's hard to ignore.

examples, people taking videos of people fighting instead of helping.
You see a granny get robbed, and don't do jackshit about it. It just seems like there's no hope for humanity. It's all been going downhill since the 90's.

You're talking about the new Radiohead album aren't you?

>>17127036
Ahaha wish I was. Haven't checked it yet. Radiohead is okay in general. When you take it in moderation.

Great! Now take what you just wrote and apply it to everything else. Baby steps, darling!
