How Cynical Are You?

You are way too optimistic to be cynical. You've got a lot of lofty goals and plenty of optimism to help you achieve them. Your friends probably get sick of your cheerfulness, but it's often your job to help them see the bright side of things.

You only get cynical on your bad days. If it rains all week or bae doesn't text you back right away, a cynical cloud will settle over you for an hour or two. But you deal with it and quickly get over it, because being that negative makes you uncomfortable and you don't like to harbor bad energies.

You're more of a realist than a cynic. You know that it's okay to be optimistic about some things, but you don't get carried away. You'll probably never win the lottery, but you can daydream as long as you keep that full-time job. Because you never know--that scratcher you buy on a whim next Tuesday could totally change your life! You're just not going to bet everything on it.

You're the right amount of cynical. You don't get caught up in any whimsical ideas, and you quickly cut down anyone who even tries to get their (or your) hopes up about anything. Just lose that chip on your shoulder. Knowing that the world is full of shit doesn't make you cooler than anyone else.

Hello, Nietzsche! There's absolutely no point to life, so why bother being hopeful? It's not that you're pessimistic, or even depressed; you just know better than to count on anyone or anything but yourself. You keep a realistic, often-bitter point of view. But since you don't expect much, you're rarely disappointed, so at least there's that.
