Ever since I was a child I've had a little pessimistic streak. However over the past five years or so (I'm twenty now) it's got to a point where it's kind of killing me inside.

I am consistently bitter, pessimistic, cynical and downbeat. I never get enthusiastic over anything, even things I guess I enjoy. I have no sense of wonder or curiosity.

I don't think I'm a bad person outwardly. Most people who meet me, I think, get the impression I'm shy but generally kind and nice.

I don't want to be this way. Recently I played a game where one of the characters was very kind, endearing and enthusiastic about nature, and this is a little embarassing but it made me cry because she was just like I used to be when I was young.

How do I shake these traits?

You still are young.

I understand that, although a fear I have relatively unrelated to this is that I'm wasting my youth.

But really isn't this deep cynicism something that happens to older people?

Regardless, I desperately want to change myself while I still am young.

Just try your best to be nice to others. Do a good deed and see how you feel afterwards. It might help you on the way of becoming a nicer person.
I wish you luck anon.

Stop being 14 years old.

basically your problem is probably self centredness
not to worry your not alone, we are all suffering independently, your task... relieve others suffering. see what happens.
a little prayer wont hurt either, pray to the moon if you don't believe in God.
what else? stay out of negative websites, actually stay off the web full stop for a while, join a club, learn ju jitsu or salsa or boardgaming or meetup dot com

Thanks! I do try to be kind to other people although perhaps I'm better at trying to be rather than actually being. I'm also pretty socially awkward so that usually hinders me. But I should do better.

>>18157418
Well I'm 20 so that will be difficult.

>>18157897
You're right I am kind of self-centred. Maybe not in a necessarily intentionally bad way, but nonetheless I am.

Not sure if I believe in God. But it can't hurt.

I need to stay away from negative websites, you're right. I guess that includes 4chan. I also have no friends, so I suppose doing social things will make me a bit better person. Thanks.

Is meetup any good btw? I heard it was full of middle-aged people and eccentrics.
