Signs You’ve Become Too Cynical

You know those people who are positive, perky, see the silver lining, laugh at the small stuff in life and always seem to keep on trucking? Well, first of all, if you started grimacing just at the thought of them, there is a very good chance that you’re not one of them. But also, there’s something you should know about them: they aren’t that way because nothing bad ever happened to them. To believe there is anybody on this planet who has never experienced pain, been lied to, been disappointed or been cheated is incredibly ignorant. Everybody has a story and heartache; what makes people different is how they handle it. Do they let the bad things permanently taint the way they see everything else? Or do they make them grateful for the good thing? Those perky people manage to be that way because they consciously did not allow their painful experiences to make them cynical. Can you say the same for yourself? Here are signs you’ve become too cynical.
