As we get older - perhaps I'm just speaking for myself - we can get too cynical.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Yeah, it's pretty hard not to be completely cynical these days.
I'm not cynical.
I have never been a cynical person.
I do get cynical, but what can you do? It doesn't make any difference.
I have a big cynical side to me.
The more cynical you become, the better off you'll be.
If there's one thing that makes me cynical, it's optimists. They are just far too cynical about cynicism. If only they could see that cynics can be happy, constructive, even fun to hang out with, they might learn a thing or two.
I feel increasingly like age is very irrelevant. Quite often, cynicism is confused with wisdom, and my scorn is confused with a knowing, which I don't have.
I am one of those people that's never been really cynical about life, you know.
Perhaps the biggest myth about cynicism is that it deepens with age. I think what really happens is that experience painfully rips away layers of scales from our eyes, and so we do indeed become more cynical about many of the things we naively accepted when younger.
