what's tastier? being cynical and having a weird sense of humor or being positive and having a mind of an optimistic philosopher?

cynical

definitely cynical

One thing I really can't stand is mushy optimism, where everyone tries to console one another and try to tell eachother that the world is a beautiful place and we're all beautiful deep down and we should all think happy thoughts and we'll all go to heaven and pick white daisies and sleep in fresh pressed linen with 4000 thread count. Makes me sick.

and frolick with the faeries and unicorns.

Cynicism can be funny and interesting to a point, but only to a point. I can't stand being around people who are always negative and cynical because it drags me down. Life is already crappy enough sometimes without the crappiness being dwelled on and pointed out. By the same token, constantly happy and bubbly people have a way of annoying me too. So I guess I just appreciate people who don't get stuck in being one way all the time...people who can cookiemonster about the sucky things with you and then laugh with you ten minutes later appeal to me. Life is up and down, you gotta roll with it and try to make the best with what you've got.

Very well written phoenix rising.......life is to short and too crapy at times to stay cynical.

Hmm...lol..just asking what's tastier.

lol, I just realized the irony of what I said. "life is crappy and short, so don't be cynical"

😛

thanks tammyraven (interesting name by the way) 🙂

i'd die before I let myself stay around a pure negative cynic. why can't I have an optimist with a weird sense of humor?

that wasnt the poiiiiiiitttttttt......but you could be whatever you want..lol

lol, I wonder how gwen puts up with me.

lol

morgan and you were just telling me that hte problem with the world was that everyone keeps loking at the negative side *cough* hypocrit *cough*

Er..dont know when i ever said that, but its a known fact that i didnt cast my vote on which side i'd rather be on either, this was just a lil fun and games..dont need to take it seriously ne? muehehehe.

and oh no!!! i'm a hypocrite, i dont have a valid reason to live!!!!

lol gwen... I didn't say that was a problem, I just said that's the way it is. And it's good we have hard core cynics who make known the wrongs of the world, that way the expose the problems for other people to fix.

i used to be an worrier and pesstemistcs.
i am know a less of a worrier and an optmiestic. and my wried sense of humor has grown over time so it is possible.

i worry about lil things, and yet can care less about the things im suppose to care for.

I'm a very split minded person. When I deal with everyday life, I don't really worry about anything and am normally pretty happy around everyone, the stuff I'm upset about all gets pushed to the back of my mind, where it manifests into annoy pains like stomach and head aches. So I can appear happy when I'm around people, especially people who don't know me well, but as soon as I'm a lone and have time to actually think about my life, I feel like throwing up. This may be why when I'm posting on here, I appear so much different than if you were to meet me face to face. I'm actually a pretty funny person, believe it or not, although it might take some time for you to adjust to my form of cynical humor. But I'm so extremely stressed out... The jokes are a branch of that. Yep... If I only had a gun...

What's the stress about?
I've seen mention of troubles with the opposite gender,
I understand picking a school is difficult, or having to attend one that's a second choice for you,
what esle? (Just curious.)

I do understand the "on" in public, "off" in private persona. I'm the same way.

I'm just in general a stressed out person, it's my nature. I think I made a list of some of the things I'm stressed out about on a previous post somewhere around here... But anyway... It's just life, man, life.

lol, I think it's causing friction in some of my relationships though... A cancer buddy of my complains he can't talk to me anymore about anything cause I'm to tense. He says I'm scary, but I think he fears that he may be a cause off some of my stresses (which he is not, but I'm evil so won't bother telling him so). The other day a Taurus buddy of mine commented that I was too stressed out. He said I was going to be like the lady who worked a the mall. She suddenly just left one day (abandoned job, family, and friends), didn't tell anyone where she was going, and was found with a new life two years later in Florida. I told him he probably wasn't too far off. He laughed at my agreement... I think I must really amuse him, the sadistic person that he is to laugh at my hyper-stress.

Before I even read this.. It's odd. I can see you're on right now, from the time. I'm not Forum Stalking, btw. It's just I don't know how to get all new responses from post-ers. So far I'm having to "add to favorites" every reply I make, to ensure I don't lose a thread. It's also the only way to see others responses I haven't met yet. Is there any better way to "see all new posts" other than sifting thru each board section? Thanks. Back to the reply.

click on a person's name, then under their description it will list all the most recent posts they put up. It's quicker than guessing.

I can sympatheize with the stress label. My co-workers call it stress, I say hyper-acuity. They say over zealous, I call it diligence. Nit-picky, no.. it's "attention to detail". On and on. They also think it's humorous. I guess it is. (Plus I get to vent and they find it truly funny.. they share things I've said to each other when we've worked different shifts, etc.) My boss is a Taurus (for interest). I even found an "zodiac employer profile" that fit's him to a T. Err.. (don't why I'm adding this).. I've been told I act out my stories, explanations, whatever. Can't keep from using my hands to make 3-D commentary. I think that's what they find so funny. And yes, you seem deep and possibly sadistic. You do know the ultimate Sadist/Masochist joke, don't you? The Masochist begs- "Hurt me! Hurt Me!" And the Sadist says, wickedly, .."Nooo... Noooo. " I like.

lol, that's good. I can relate on the "acting out the stories". I do the same thing, with the wild hand jestures... And I tend to where what I think on my face. My economics teacher is constantly asking me if I'm alright and I need to ask a question about a topic in class, the only promblem is that I'm always thinking about something other than economics, so I just smile and reasure hime that I understand everything. I just can't help but be expressive, and I think everyone around me has gotten used to that over time... But it's still annoying because, I'll be explaining something a little too loudly and with a little too much enthusiasm/zeal/stress and everyone in the room will shut up and stair at me. It's a great way to embaress friends though. 😛
